I used the press to press out and install all the other bushings for the control arms, etc. I did have 2x4's, 4x4's and 8x8's, plus a lot of sockets and other metal pieces to use as spacers and to set up each press. I've also used the press to replace all the suspension bushings on an E36 BMW. Definitely a nice tool to have on hand. Mike --------------------------------------------------------
