    I have looked around and from what people have told me, its easier to change out all of the arms, that include the bushings. But,

    I have access to a shop that has a 50T press, and a whole lot more then the 'average shop' would have.

    Would it be more worth it to buy the whole kit, like this one or buy each of the bushings and drive them out and press them in manually.


    What would be a good set to buy, thats not to expensive? I am running airride, so would it be better to go for the cheaper sets or look into HD sets? Hope some one is out there who has done their homework

    i would do the whole kit. its worth not having to deal with the aggravation. plus if youre pulling the arms out anyway, you might as well just put new ball joints in as well.

    Without question... Buy the kit. You won't regret it.

    I'm not on air but the set I put in a buddy's S4 seemed to be pretty stout and they were the stock replacement set.
