Bushing Press?
What kind and where to buy a press to use on suspension bushings?
I'm thinking it might be better to buy a press and do them myself.
I'm not sure of the size of die(s) needed, I have a 93 Accord, are all years/models using the same size bushings?
Also, I'm going to put some poly's in, I know replacing the rear trailing arms with poly is not recommended. Are there any on the front that should not be replaced with poly?
I would imagine that all/most of my bushings are shot, due to age, so I ordered a hyperflex kit from ES and the motor mount inserts as well.
I realize that everyone says that the poly's "ride way harsher", but I can't imagine anything riding harsher than a bunch of worn bushings/springs/blown struts, can you?
I have Tokico HP's on the way, H&R Sports 1.75 & 1.5, and the bushings. I would think that this set up would be way smoother than the old beat up crap that is on it now.
TY.

You could probably take all the components to an alignment shop or a shop with a press and they would be able to press them out. It would be a lot cheaper than buying a press.
