Default Polyurethane Bushings Question

Putting bushings on a 94 Accord, only have ball joint boot set, front lower C-arm set, front tie rod end set, and front strut rod set. What else would anyone recommend? Didnt get the whole set. Thanks in advance.

wondering if i should send what i have back and get the whole set including rear control arms? I'm mostly just concerned with suspension--not necessarily engine mount and s$*%.

It all depends on how fast you can take the parts apart and put them together. But most importantly, if you don't have a press, don't try wasting your time taking the old bushings out yourself. Most of the bushings have a metal outer ring that is pressed into the arm and without the proper tools, you'll be spending hours trying to get out each bushing.

Rather take out all the parts that you'll be chaning the bushings out of, take them to a shop that has a press and have them press the old ones out. Then take them back home and put the new bushings in. Shouldn't take more than a day if you work at it and don't run into any problems like worn/torn ball joints...etc.

Also make sure to read the directions, it's important to measure some of the ball joints before removing them so you can put the new ones in exactly.
