They make a special tool to do it that you can rent for a low price and some parts stores even load them out. I got one from, IIRC, Advance Auto to mine in the 96 Buick.

I don't think I follow the logic of this.

Torque can't disappear or be absorbed because it is a force (lb ft). Force when moved over distance can be used or stored as work (lb ft per second). As...

You aren't the only one that has ever had that kind of issue. It happens all the time, I think, until we really tie the bench together and tie it down tight.

On the screws, it is an odd thing I mentioned because the screws don't hold anything at all in place. The would go just above the extruded up area of the arm where the balljoint hopefully extends a...

JB is good stuff but I wonder about it any place where flexing or any movement happens as it is brittle. Loctite is good, but has it's own requirements to work also. It is only very strong within a...

The look of those threads could back up the theory of the guy you mentioned that said they were not pre cut in the arms. The fully, and pretty evenly truncated threads is how those holes normally...

You can get a tool to press in the arm inner bushings and those are designed to get the straight. I got one from, IIRC, Autozone as free loaner last time I did some.

A truck repair place may pop them out for you with a big impact wrench for a reasonable cost. Impact really makes a difference on stuff like this.

That is interesting, I had thought you had two in one box as some come. They may not have a manufacturer name on them, but they might not both be Moog as one thing that does happen is people get a...

Looking at the Rock Auto site where they give actual dimensions of the parts, there appears to be a huge conflict as to what size they should be for the vans.

Some say 2" diameter and some,...

Suspension parts can be hard to get right sometimes because there just seem to be lots of errors in the literature for them.
