The Moog bushings have metal sleeves. They look like decent bushings. I'm just not sure why they wear out so quickly. All I do with the car is commute 80 miles per day on the highway.

All I really need to know is how to get the bushing out of the control arms. Can I just use something like a ball joint press? I've already purchased replacement moog b...

I met Vic at a local cookout a couple of years ago, seemed like a decent guy. Ended up buying a supercharger off him this summer. He sold it to me at his cost (cheap) and let me take it home before paying for it. Condition was as he said it would be. I'd buy from him again if needed.
