You're on it.

Too big of a job and not enough tools for my old self.

Local tire store quoted me between 550 and 750 to do the job.

Still debating on having it done.

But I only had time to take a few.

Rojostar's pictures are much more extensive.

thanks, I have front passenger side control arm bushes gone bad, and I am not looking forward to this job but it has to be done.

I paid almost $650 to have the driver side bushes on my 93 long done at the local shop. If I had to do it all over again, knowing what I know now, I'd pay the $650.
