Karen,

I purchased the majority of my front end parts from Sunbeam Specialties
in California. I bought a few parts from the much-maligned Victoria
British. I attempted to install my new bushings using a vise as a press
and wound up taking the A-arm to a shop and having them pressed in. I
think I paid $50 to have all the bushings pressed in and some minor
repair work to one of the swaybar retainer slots. It was well worth
it. The car drove 110% better after the rebuild.

Good Luck,

Tom Hill
Series V
