finally got around to replacing the bushings in my front and rear panhards and rear upper and lower control arms (and the rubber in both sway bars). she's my DD i really can't be down without her for more than a day (hopefully) and contemplated having someone else do it. but after getting a few quotes, and unable to iron out the logistics, i found a 12-ton press from harbor freight for $110 and decided to try to do it myself.
(pic one is a view of the press i used)
after a few days of PB blaster i decided to try the front panhard first. turning the wheel to the right gives you enough clearance to get a wrench (22mm) or socket on both front bolts. definitely need a breaker bar/pipe to get those loose.
