Review on ACDelco Professional Control Arm Bushing ๐Ÿ”ง for Front Lower Suspension - Rear Application 45G9211 by John Hickey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect replacement

The front of my 2009 2-door turbocharged Cobalt feels like new again. Not very easy to install if you don't have access to the store. I had full access to the workshop with an elevator and a press, so it was easier for me. Without access to the store, it would be almost impossible to install them. You need to remove the control lever and knock out the old bushing with one punch. Since the wishbone is only made of aluminum, you have to be careful not to damage the bearing ring in the event of an impact. Then you need to lubricate the cage, bring the control lever to the press and press the bushing. This turned out to be tricky because you have to line it up correctly with spacers, plates and metal ring clips and press down slowly. Make sure it's perfectly straight and also watch the control stick to make sure it doesn't bend. The result was worth it :) The job took me three hours for both sides. RECOMMENDED!
