1993 Mercury Villager got a bushing missing

Hello -

To better assist you please tell me if your model is a GS or LS. Also your engine size in liter and the 8th digit of your VIN.

You bet Benjamin

Just reply right back like you did for this.

I will be waiting.......

Hello -

I have attached the information you have requested.

You need to remove the control arm to replace the bushings. They need to be pressed in and out.

You might check the cost of the entire control arm and see what that is compared to the purchase of both bushings and the cost of a machine shop pressing them in just to see.

Please ensure you properly brace the frame and suspension.

Also, it looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.
