When I was did the suspension rebuild on a BMW....


...I did the same thing. Didn't have a press, so I bought new control arms with polyurethane bushings installed.

If you factor in the time it would have taken to drive to the Auto Hobby Shop to press the old bushings out & install new ones, it was worth it to buy new arms.
