NOTE: For anyone installing Prothane rear lower control arm poly bushing kit, after removing old bushings from all lower arms, do the following:
- press in Prothane outer metal sleeves only (leave bushings out)
- media blast the outer metal sleeve area to prepare for welding
- weld 2 strips per side of outer sleeves, 4 total per bushing and 8 total per arm, for a grand total of 32 welds
- paint each bushing area with anti-rust paint
- moly lube & install bushings with inner metal sleeves
- continue with lower arm installation
If you do not do this you risk the rear lower control arms sliding along the Prothane bushings do to loosing the "[press-fit", as I caught while my car was on the hoist.
