If it's just the control arm bushings you need, these are what I was going to buy.

Link to Modern

 

is that one set for the front and rear or just the front?

 

That's just the front. I haven't looked into the rear.

 

I have been wondering about this since I haven't done it yet. If the price isn't too bad, I will probably just be taking it somewhere then, lol

 

so you cant buy the LCA bushings for the rear from modern without buying the WHOLE suspension bushing kit....?

 

No, but here is the Prothane Part Numbers:

CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, REAR
Year Kit Name Kit
(Neon, SRT-4))
95-99 Rear C-Arm Bushing Kit 4-301
00-06 Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Kit 4-304

 

...hahaha, this brings back some laughs
i did mine a while ago. in the process of doing it, i actually got so mad and frustrated, i felt like setting the hole car on fire. so u're ok adionik. gotta tell u, for 40$ i would have go straitgh to the guy, but i don't think he had any idea what he was getting himself into.
any way, i got the red ones from modern, i have them for about six months, and they are great. a friend helped me(not to set the car on fire), two minds are better than one. so, if u have some idea of what u are doing, and have some help, i recommend getting them and doing it yourself. when we finished, i was really happy, and even happier now cause i saw they were worth it.
and yeah, i couldn't get them on without a press (and belive me, i tried really hard). but once i got them on the control arm, right, both of my control arms went back on really easy. good luck

 

Ya press > no press

But if you really don't have access to a press you burn the old bushing out with a torch, cut the sleve(Do these bushings have metal sleves?) with the torch as well and if it's the sleved type you use anti-sieze, a block-o-wood and a really big hammer and pound those things in. if it's the unsleved type you clean the inside of the control arm out with a die grinder and a sanding wheel and make it shiney.

Use some lube to get it in I don't care if you use ky, but putting in a bushing without any form of lube(even if it's anti-seize) will mean disaster.

Trust me, I'm a Heavy duty mechanic, I've never done a neon control arm bushing but at least once a week I have to do a torque arm bushings/walking beam bushings or trifunctional bushings that are the size of your frigging head.


Makes me giggle when you say neon bushings are hard.

 

I didn't use a press, my problem was getting a torcher hot enough to burn the bushings off. Once I did, the rest was a cake aside from putting the control arm back in...

 

Go Pablo!!!!
