Control arm bushings on the suspensions are able to help the car drive with more stability and better comfort, but these bushings don't last forever. The most common place for a problematic bushing is the rubber ring. You can use a pry bar to move the control arms slightly on the side on the car, and check the place where the bushing is in contact with other undercar parts. The failed rubber will be easily visible with this method. Replacing a bushing can seem to be hard but with this Cosda's universal sleeve removal and installation kit, the bushing replacement job can be as easy as possible. 

When working with this tool, first you want to choose the correct sized long threaded stud/rod. The size is important because it allows the threaded stud to go through the central hole of the bushing. The thickness of the 4 threaded studs provided in this kit are 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm. The second thing is to choose the correct sized sleeves. This part takes a bit of patience. You will want to choose a receiving sleeve and a pushing sleeve. The receiving sleeve is to hold the bushing once it is pushed out of the control arm by the pushing sleeve. The receiving sleeve should fit the outside of the original bushing, and the pushing sleeve should fit the inside of the original bushing. For assembling, slide the threaded rod through the bushing hole, and connect both sleeves on either side of the bushing. Fix the sleeves with the bearing nuts provided. The sleeves come in golden and silver colors, but they are just for identification purposes. You can choose to use both golden sleeves to do the job. The sleeve sizes have 2 mm increments, and the sizes cover the majority of the bushing sizes on passenger cars. 

Once the threaded rod, sleeves, and bearing nuts are fixed on the bushing, make sure that all parts are on the straight line, especially the pushing side. If the pushing sleeve goes astray, it will simply push the bushing to the edge of the control arm, and totally ruins it. Take two manual wrenches. This is important. Please do not use an air or impact wrench to work with this tool. The turning of the bearing nut will create heat. While working manually, the heat can dissipate evenly, but if you are using an air wrench, the heat created by the high speed is very likely to shear the threads clean off, so use a regular manual wrench or a ratchet wrench.

Finally, fix one bearing nut and tighten the other bearing nut. By fastening, the pushing sleeve will gradually push the original bearing out of the control arm. For installing a new bearing, use the same method to push the new bearing into the control arm. There is a concave working as a window so you can always check where the bushing goes through that window in order not to over pushing, or you will have to do the entire job again.
