Ugh. Horror freight.just say no.
Why? Because most of the "American" brands now manufacture pretty much EVERYTHING they sell overseas. I see the Craftsman seems to be moving a few things back to the US, but even Snap-On has stuff made in China and of course it still costs 5x as much.
I've had both a 12 ton and now a 20 ton press from Harbor Freight, both are decent quality and get the job done. The 20 ton is quite a bit more sturdy than the 12, more than worth the difference in price. And yeah, they can usually be found used locally, because they're inexpensive enough that people will buy them for a job or two and then sell them.
As far as using a press for control arm bushings I've done alot of control arm bushings and can't say that I have ever used my press to do those. Not once. I tried once and the table that you set your pressed part on gets in its own way. .
Using a press is BY FAR the easiest way to do lower control arm bushings. Not even close. Upper control arm bushings are best done with something like the tool I posted above, but if you support the UCA properly a press can be used too. There's no reason the press has to get in the way if you have the right press plates and some additional material to support the area around the bushing. A few random chunks of pipe couplers in different diameters, or old bearing races can work for supporting the item being pressed. That's basic stuff.
I burn what's left of the old rubber out with a propane or mapp torch and walk around the sleeve with a chisel bit in an air hammer, and the shell falls out. I can usually set the control arm on a vise and find a socket or pipe nipple that fits the collar around the bushing and a good old BFH to drive them into the control arm
No reason to burn the rubber out, it just makes a mess. The rubber isn't bonded to the shell, you just press out the LCA pivot and the rubber peels right out with a screwdriver or pick. I've made the mistake of burning out the bushings before, it's just dumb. With the construction of the Mopar bushings there's no reason for it. With a press the whole replacement job can be done quickly and with no mess at all.
Using a hammer to drive a UCA or LCA bushing is just, well, the absolute wrong way to do it. And that's the nicest way I can put it. Using a hammer to drive anything that's supposed to be a press fit just builds failure right into the assembly.
