Just to do the lower front bushings took me a full week. But I did have a lot of other stuff going on -- friend's wedding, family visiting, that sort of thing.

If I went at it seriously, I could have done it in one weekend (assuming access to a big press).

I think that doing the upper front control arms would have added only about two hours to the job. They are pretty simple to remove.

The *worst* time sink was stripping the old paint from the eyes of the front LCA. There is an area that the Energy bushings cover with a lip that is not so covered by the stock rubber shell bushing. The paint was rusting and flaking and I figured it would squeak against the urethane unless cleaned off smoothly; it took many sessions of applying naval jelly to get it clean.

Will report after I do the rear LCAs next week.

Anyway, urethane is incredible. I have Prothane end links on one car and now have the Energy master set going on another. I would be pissed off if I didn't have the urethane option, and had to do all this work to put on new crappy factory rubber bushings that will just oxidize and crack and flop around in two years or so.
