Yeah... what kind of bushings? Our press is kinda old, setup wise, so it kinda depends on what you're pressing as to if I can do it or not...

Anybody had an ALK or stock bushing in their hand recently, or just know? I assume the taper on the inner sleeve is narrower on the end where the nut goes from the stud on the control arm, or rear facing...
