When I did mine all I did was to spray some lubricant on them and them hole. I then used a big "c" clamp and a piece of steel over eack end to "press" them in.

Don't buy them the fiero store. Please look to www.suspension.com and make your wallet much happier.

I don't know about down there, but in BC Canada we can just go to our local parts store and ask them to bring in a set of poly bushings and the price always comes in cheaper than if we bought them ourselfs from some company.

Summit lists parts primarily of r84 - 87. I need to install poly in my '88 rear trailing arms and links. Fiero store is about $100.00.

Any vendors where I can save some $?
