Delrin camber LCA busing install

Are the bushing completely rubber or they they have a metal outer sleeve.
My shop wants only 200 bux for labor to do it.........so tempting.

carefully remove the rubber bushing and sleeve from LCA
press the new one in...you don't want it to be loose ( so no lube
)...or it will rotate and screw up your alignment. I had to TIG weld the big side to the control arm as it would turn when I banged off the curbs at the track. For more "normal" usage it likely isn't an issue
Then put in the bearing and the retaining side with the screws and you should be good

You shouldn't torch it......when I did mine I had already cut the front part of the bushing off as it had seized on the bolt. I pressed out the center part and then sliced the outer metal sleeve carefully part way through and pressed it out. As I remember it took an hour a side...in a shop with air tools, an air chisel and die grinders...a vise and a press. Not sure doing it at home would be a fun job
It isn't simple...and you need to be patient. If you screw it up it get expensive really quick

The shop it is then, thank you for that advice. I think I will only do one side since only my driver side not getting the angle it needs. My car is track too and since this part doesn't hold onto it's alignment as well as stock bushing. I would like to keep it as stock as possible. For the price he is asking, it would be totally worth it. It does not sound fun.
Wouldn't welding the bushing in place, remove any ability to adjust it?

The part where you snuck in while I was replying to the OP ...
Tack welding it makes perfect sense, butnot researching, or acquiring an understanding, or not reading the instructions for modifications before you go there, not so much
