my DA is going under the knife real soon ... gotta get it ready for IA herb your still going right ???

 

100 bucks to press out lower front arm bushings...crazy.

 

^ lol

 

lol and now you made ANOTHER post and deleted it. I was just ****ing with you man, dont take it the wrong way.

And damn matty that is alot. Theres no one local to you that can help you out?

 

i got theees today!

 

LOL ninja editing.. I always do that.

 

i know, you're quick, i couldnt even finish the other post lol

Hoping the guy who's going to helicoil my trans doesnt flake today so i can put the da back together tomorrow, polyurethane mounts are super stiff, **** radiates throughout the entire car

 

I like brand new Honda OEM stock mounts, that's what I put in. Feels like the car isn't on at idle. Even with the cons of having oem mounts over stiffer mounts I'd still rather put oem mounts in every time no matter what unless I was building a full race car.

I went to all the local places already, 100 was the cheapest. I got some outrageous quotes for 200. When I go back to LA sometime I'll check for shops that can press out the front lower arm bushings out for cheaper than 100 hopefully.

 

yeah all of my mounts were completely ripped so i needed a quick and cheap solution to protect the car from the motor shaking back and forth and possibly damaging components, when the car is at idle its very quiet, only on initial start up and high rpms did it get loud

 

finally got a set of MINT one-pieces!!!

 

how much?

 

Damn Matt sucks to hear about these crazy prices..

 

Tell me about it! I didn't think it cost this much to press out 4 bushings out of 2 control arms.

 

its cheaper to buy a press at harbor freight and do it yourself

 

I'd understand if it was all the arms and all the bushings but just those two arms... 4 Bushings is a 15 min job.

 

I don't have a place to have a press, and I already tried with a press from harbor freight and failed because the jack was not compressing at all for some reason. I did it for the rears though.

 

20 ton press?

 

I think the 12 would of worked if only the jack wouldn't lose compression and the way the arms sat on the arbor plates didn't help either. That's why I gave up and was hoping it wouldn't cost that much somewhere to press them out. Apparently, I was wrong

 

i see..

 

I'm amazed the 12 ton took care of the rear bushings. With the Harbor Freight presses it has to be the 20. There was a guy who went through all of the presses from harbor freight and the 20 ton was the only one that did the trick with all the bushings he said.

 

When it worked the bushings came right out!! Just wish I had the fronts the same way, otherwise I'd be done with my overhaul.
