DIY front control arms
Does anyone have a good DIY for the front control arms or replacing just the bushings? I just picked up a high mileage Yaris and it needs the control arm bushings to pass the safety check. I was thinking of ordering from ebay (90 bucks a pop for the control arms)

Do you have a press to press out the bushings? Bushing replacement is a "standard" maintenance item wo probably no one will have a DIY. Are the control arms bent? You probably don't need new ones.

No, but at 225k kms on the car, I figure just to swap the whole arm out. Anybody with DIY instructions?
