Can anyone in the sacramento area help a brotha out

Anybody in the Sacramento area got time to help me with replacing the the front control arm bushings? I can't drive my car and want to get to Thunderhill this weekend. I started on the front left and raped the rear bushing but I guess I have to cut a metal sleeve under the rubber. If anybody can help that would be great. If not...

If your able to pull both A-arms and bring them to me I might be able to do them at my house.
I have a press with an air ram

The shape of the A-arm might be a problem though...

OR

I have 2 good A-arms with decent bushings you can have for $20 for the pair.


Pressing in stock bushings or poly ?

well, by a fiberglass repair kit from any parts store. my buddy's FC kit needed to be cut up a little bit and fixed, but he's pretty much a neat freak when it comes to his FC.
