Okay: Tips for getting Control Arm Bushings in without a press: you need a table vice, vice grips, lot's of lube and a friend.

One person holds the arm against the bushing and pushes that against one side of the vice, and begins to tighten, when the bushing deforms, your friend should use his vise grips to deform the bushing more on the exact point it's popping out so that it slides in. My friend and I have found this method works quickly and Pretty painlessly.

Also: got the Megan's... Skipping the Poly's... I don't feel like gutting 200 dollar bushings to use ones I'll have to relube periodically. If the Megan's suck I'll gut em, but I don't wanna cut em up just yet
