just typed this up and then somehow deleted it all awesome.
shorter version:
took old control arm off.
took loli pop off old arm. hydraulicly pressed old bushing out and new bushing into loli pop.
tried to get that lolipop/bushing combo on the control arm, 3hrs of that and decided to go to a machine shop.
got a custom tool made and they had it done in 30minutes, including the time to lathe and hone a tool. (if you need it let me know)
get everything buttoned up.
clunking persists.
hmmmm what could it be?
motor mounts ARE shot, so that might have something to do with it. by shot i mean the top bolt that goes into engine arm things is not attatched to the rubber mount. yay.
gonna replace endlinks and tie rods in hopes of fixing it.
low speed wobble in steering. slight vibration at higher speeds.
what does r3v suggest?
btw, ima replace everything from here on out with poly bushings. F this mess.
fun fact! the machinist asked if i had lubed up the parts, i saidy yep, wd40 and some used 30weight, he gave me that dumb stare. so here's a tip, use SILICON spray. that stuff made a huge difference.
