    Nope, i wish they would. They only sell them separately. They have a problem solver arm, but it doesn't have this bushing.

    You can tell by looking at the picture, the bushing has 2 slits in it whereas the good problem solver's rubber is one piece. I also know a few who thought it might of had it, but when they bought the arm it had the old rubber crap.

    Misleading as the "problem solver"' arms are named as such and cost 2x as much

    Yep, and there's nothing special about them at all.

    Why does the bushing look like each one is installed differently? I have some one the way and was wanting to make sure i have them pressed in right.

    Dang, had I known about these I would have waited. Just about a year ago I ordered some uni-balls and mis-alignment bushings to install in my LCA's. I then had to have the o.d. of the uni-bal cup turned down to fit. The whole projest cost about $200 but one benifit is that the machinist made me some Derlin inserts to replace the horizontal rear bushings.

    Good work Frosty, I think this needs to be integrated into one of the suspension upgrade sticky threads!

    I just bought some and I noticed one has a torn boot from the factory should I try returning it or is it no big deal? It's only there to keep dirt out I think.

    I guess I should of looked at the part closer once I noticed a spot of rust on it. Contacted the seller and waiting on a reply.

    Would a ball joint press kit work for putting these in, only thing the local stores have to rent.

    Exactly..

    Other Booba method contains the use of many relays and few curse words too.

    Do they make any poly bushings we can press in?
    I might have asked this before but forgot. I ordered a complete poly kit for my other car but figured the wbody car would be trickier

    Poly wouldn't be better, it'd be worse. The monoball design isn't constantly trying to go back to center, it stays where you put it so it works with the steering system instead of against it. I'm not 100% sure but I believe Moog use poly to seal off the monoball stuff though.
