I replaced my UCA Bushings.

First you take your control arm and remove the bolt:



then you put it up and out of the way:



then you take your All joint press and pop it out: (mind you on the drivers side I had to use a 1 5/16" socket on the end to push it all the way thru)



then once removed set your new one in:



and then press it all the way in:



and once it is seated bolt it all the way back up: (i drilled out the "bumps" and then used 1/2" hardware on mine)



Install time was just over an hour on the drivers side about 20 minutes on the passenger side

also found some new rock rash!

I increased the lower bend by approximately 20 degrees (originally it was at 10 degrees up, now it's 10 degrees down). Now I have no binding there when at full droop. I also installed a 1 ton TRE on the drag link at the pitman arm (which has an 18 degree bend) to alleviate the binding there as well. So much better!!
