I removed my original control arm bushings today.

First had to cut the flange off the stock rubber ones. I used a hack saw between the rubber and the control arm and cut the rubber down to the metal sleeve in the bushing. Then pulled it away with a pliers while I cut it with a sharp utility knife. It cuts easy when it's pulled tight.

Then just heated it evenly around metal surrounding the bushing until it is soft and molasses like. I started to hear it boil and pop a little which let me know it was ready to hammer out.

Hey Johnny,

I was just browsing your site and noticed that you might have accidentally sent me the neon bobble strut. My invoice says part number 3297 but the picture is different. It looks like the first gen neon one pictured with the blue poly.

Is the one in the picture above the right one for my 1989 Shelby CSX with A555 transmission?

Sorry I didn't notice this sooner. It is still in the same bag you sent it in and hasn't been installed.

Thanks!
