Changing lower control arm bushing

[32_d3gr33s]

Has anyone changed ONLY the outer busing on the front lower control arms? I changed out all of the front control arms less than 40k miles ago. The bushing where the strut fork attaches was fused to the bolt, so i hat to cut the bolt and pound the bushing out. Is putting the new bushing in just a matter of pressing it in? or is there anything else that needs to be done? The rest of the control arm is fine so i really dont want to replace it if i dont have to.

Hey, I realize your post is old.. but to answer your question it is a fairly straight forward job. Press out, press in.

I just did these on my B5 last summer:
