Any shop with a press should be able to complete both sides in less than an hour. I did mine without lifting the car or removing the wheels. Remove the large nut in the pic and the two vertical bolts and the bushing slides off of the back with the housing. Press the old bushing out, press the new one in in the correct orientation, and reinstall on the car.

decided to take your advice, 3 nuts makes total sense, and my sneaking suspicion is that maybe the Mevotechs aren't as good as OEM, as the entire arm is $85 with both the front and rear bushings. eBay $62.24 each for OEM, plus I already had a paypal gift card....now to choose the shop to install them. Thanks!

155k miles on original suspension? Wow. I'd say both LCA bushings are toast, not just the big ones. If it were me I'd probably do the ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and steering rack bushings at the same time.

Looks like LCA bushing is toast. Driver side.





All other bushings looked to be ok as far as I could tell. The sound seems to have all but disappeared since changing out the front rotors this weekend. Strange. I still have the minor steering wheel shake at ~55-65mph that many have noted here on CL.

Mine are getting installed Sat., I went with OEM. FYI, the eBay price seems to have dropped down to $55, incl. shipping. Since they list for $113 ea., that's not bad....

Thank you for the heads up. Headed there now.

Really odd, I know that amazon has "fluctuating" prices, a 4 pack of retail 2032 coin cells go from $2.xx to $5.xx, I guess there is a strategy behind it. I saw the bushings go from $55, to $64, back to $55...then it seems the same part is listed for $60, under a different name, from the same city/state with same qty available, which tells me it's the same seller.....still imho $55 is a good deal.
