Lower Control Arm Bushing-5hbasfc.jpg

The measurements on new bushings before and after alignment, the top was reading as correct with my old ones.


Old bushings vs new and it is VERY hard to do this job even with correct tools if you insist on re-using the arm.

Powder free latex, diamond grip medium since I like be glove to be tight on me. They are swapped for nitrile when doing brake line work since brake fluid murders latex very quickly

Can you double glove with diamond grip on the inner and nitrile on the outer?
