got my money out of the harbor freight ball joint tool, bought it on sale for $29.99 and used it to remove and replace all bushings on the control arms, front and rear as well as the ball joints themselves. shop wanted $200 to do it all, so ifigured i'd give it a shot for $29.99. worked great. key for bushings is use a thick washer or you'll just push out the bolt hole piece in the middle

Please provide details if you have them, like the Harbor Freight part number. It'll help others in the future.
Thanks.

Yes, but I'd rather have my own tools. I'll be buying one of those ball joint press kits here soon myself.

Would like to have the Harbor Freight Stock Number of that Ball Joint Tool that also does Rear Bushings.
Thanks,
