I need the car ASAP, for work and cetera. I'm borrowing the old 245 to drive up to the dealer today where I can cry a little as I shell out an insane amount of money for a hunk of steel. They said $140 on the phone.

The odd thing, Rob, is that the arm itself has no rust on it - not a single spot. But the stud was crusted into the bushing.

I'm going to look at it this way - If I'd paid someone else to replace these bushings, around here it would have cost a couple hundred bucks. Even if I'd just taken them to a shop to press out the bushings they probably would have charged me half that. This way, I get a new control arm and don't have to beat out a bushing shell and the car will be back together this afternoon.
