Default Control arms and bushing

Hi, I am going to replace front lower control arms and control arm bushing. I got Meyle control arms with already pressed full metal ball joints and Meyle M3 solid rubber bushings. I just wanna know if anybody had experience with this repair, how hard it is, and is there something specific that I have to know. Thank you

The bushings are a bitch to put in. You'll need to make a tool to install them. Do a search, there is a write up on here and on understeer.com. You'll also need a ball joint separator, it's like a big fork.

Good luck.
