I have just bought new springs, anti-sway bars and polyurethane bushings for my '90 LX 2.3l. I figure that if my 0-60 is double digit, I don't want to slow down for the turns! While looking through the service manual I found a note that says "Ball joint and bushings are not serviceable". Is this true?? The kit I bought said it includes front control arm bushings, I see ball joints for sale in the mag's. What gives??

I guess the real ? is, has anyone done this and how? I can get the arms off but i'd like to know how/if the bushings come out.

Thanks

Brian
