Yah... I thought about trying it myself, but figured a shop would have a proper type of tool with which to do it correctly. I should have just assembled what I needed to try it on my bench vise I guess.

There are not stress/stretch marks on the a-arm that might indicate that it was bent at the shop.. I was looking for that.

I'm going to see if I can apply some force to r-aligning the one bushing with the help of the bench vice.

I do know there is some give to the rubber bushing, so I can drive the bolt through with some grease and a little pounding, but it would satisfy my purist urge to know that it was properly aligned and offered no undo resistance to turning. With the ammount of weight involved on those control-arms, that little bit of force probably wouldn't make a dif in handling, but I wonder if over time the extra force of the bushing on the shaft of the bolt might create a wear pattern or groove in it. Granted, that might take years and years of further use however...

Thanks for your input all.
