putting energy bushings in my upper control arm EG. pressed the oem bushings out no prob...the energy bushing pressing in was un-godly difficult and pressing the pin inside the bushing is impossible. i get the pin in and as its pressin in, the bushing stretches about half an inch or so. i am using the supplied grease and the pin is still pulling the bushing. i even tried using dawn dish soap. i am using a ball joint press rental tool lol. i have access to a 50ton press ill try tonite, but that shouldnt stop the bushing from stretching. any advice?

 

i had to use a 50 ton press and alot of cussing to get all my energy bushing in.

 

lol...that makes me feel better! usually if i have trouble with a bolt or something ill yell at it until i feel better or until it gets scared and comes out itself.

hey gambit...any feedback on how the car felt after the intall?

 

Damn 50 ton!, i guess my 20 wont work then lol.
My friend had these installed and he loves them, it's a huge increase over stock in my opinon.

 

i did the energy master kit, so all the bushings. and it made the car feel alot better, felt like a new car.

 

20 ton should work, my friend just had a 50 ton so i used that.

 

Nuts and bolt was all I used to press new poly bushing in.

 

having a press is the best when doing this. i used a big press in a my local waste management repair shop. waste management was one of my accounts a while back and the shop manager was a friend of mine so i took some parts there so i could use the press there. its probably 80 tons or somethin LOLit was like 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide
