ok, easy install right? i've been told that i have to go to a machine shop and get the flca bushings pressed, but the problem is i do not know what that is or what it looks like. can anybody take a picture for me, or draw it? thanks

 

Hmmm...
flca ?
If you mean the a-arm it looks like this
when its ready to go in...
Bushings, balljoints, spring,
spring compressor and isolation pad

 

What they were refering to is the metal sleeve that needs to be pressed in. The old bushings have to be driven out, usually using an air hammer.


Urbman,

Where did you purchase your isolation pads??

 

Dal Slabaugh

 

flca. front lower control arm. once again, i'm not sure i know what i'm talking about. it is part of the pst front end rebuild kit. thanks

 

In that case, thats what it looks like

 

Who is Dal Slabugh??
How much?

 

whats otop of the spring? On the install my springs werent insalled with them

 

They are isolation pads
used to dampen HF vibration

Dal is a "parts guy" at Van Devere Olds
"friend" to builders nationwide

 

What if my eibahs werent installed with isolators?

 

Nothing in particular
Your car will be slightly noisier, slightly lower all else being equal
