Front control arms
Are the front control arms steel or aluminum on the facelift models?
I am removing the kmacs bushings, they squeak and chatter to much for me.
My concern is pressing the original bushings back into the arms, if the kmacs made the hole too big the originals won't seat well. If the arms are steel we can heat and shrink the hole to make a tighter fit.
Guess well see what happens
