Suspension help.

Hey guys, I have a 96 civic(4-door). It's a project but also my daily driver. I will keep the sob story to myself but I'm tight on Money. My bushings are gone out of my rear driver side control arm. All I know about this control arm is it's adjustable and powder coated blue(no manufacturer). My question is can I just press a bushing in it or do I need to buy a control arm? Money is tight but until I get back on my feet, I just need a remedy to be safe. I can't buy a OEM arm cause I have a bunch of - camber and my tire will rub. Any suggestions would be great and appreciated.

Re: Suspension help.

car quest seem to provide services such as pressing stuff in and out, try to disassemble and take to there? I plan on doing that to my front struts.

LOL! at the ethical portion
good luck!

and remember, if you have the A-arm small 6 ton press, they might bend before getting the bushings out-in... (their homepage indicates that it is not stiff enough for tough jobs...)
