Don't do the control arm bushings along with the suspension...do them when
you have the motor out. This job is technically quite simple (remove some
bolts, have bushings pressed in, replace control arms) but when *I* did
this (out in the street in october), I was unable to get the rear subframe
bolts back in. While I had things apart, something shifted, and those
f-ing bolts would NOT go in. I kept having nightmares about screwing up
the threads on the nut embedded in the sheetmetal above the subframe. I
tried jacking up the engine/subframe and all sorts of other things, and the
thing just wouldn't go back in. I literally spent an entire day trying to
get the bolts back in. Eventually, I had it flat-bedded to a mechanic, and
he finally got it back in by lifting the engine and tranny completely off
the mounts and fiddling with the subframe. It wasn't a real fun
experience. YMMV.
