Not A-Body: PT Cruiser Suspension Noise

Well I ordered both the front and rear lower control arm bushings yesterday. I got Moog parts from Rock Auto $40.56 to the door. After seeing what a new bushing looks like the rear ones definately have the rubber squeezed out.

FWIW, I picked up a hydraulic press for the garage a few years back and didn't use it for the longest time. This will be the second time I have used it on the PT, I had to replace front wheel bearings on it last spring.

The tracking for the bushings say the parts will be delivered tomorrow, if they are I will at least do the noisy side on Sunday.

I really appreciate all the good inputs and I will update when I have swapped them.

BTW, anyone else with a PT that runs into a similar situation and doesn't want to fiddle with pressing in bushings you can get a complete lower control arm with bushings and a new ball joint for around $150. My local Advanced Auto even had them in stock.
