    LCA Bushing - Reusable?

    I have to replace front and rear LCAs after possibly bending them at the track.

    I ordered the new LCAs and they naturally come with OEM bushes.

    However, I have got Mugen (stiffer) bushing on the old LCAs which are very new.

    Now the question is...Can I pull the Mugen bushings out and use it on the new LCAs?

    Thanks in advance.

    you need a special tool though...

      Thanks, mate!

      What's that tool called? Or a description of the tool will do.

        it is called a 'hydraulic press' and most decent mechanics have one and will be able to press the OEM bushes out and press the Mugen ones in for you...

        you just gotta take the LCA's off the car and take them in...

          you can use hammer (8kg and the like). my 20 ton press was maxed out pressing in rlca bushing. ended up using hammer.

          if you wanna use a press, get 50 ton or something. abt $250 on ebay.

          btw, how did you bend your rlca/flca?
