Does it matter how the control arm bushings are pressed in the brackets on Bmw?

I have a 96 bmw 328is, im replaceing the control arms and bushings. Is there a right or wrong way to press the new bushings in the brackets? Do they have to be lined up a specific way to fit the control arm it self or does it not matter. ThanksDoes it matter how the control arm bushings are pressed in the brackets on Bmw?You can purchase the lower control arm with the new bushes already insitu.

Much easier method, and saves a lot of hassle!



otherwise, use a blow torch (plumber type will do)

Heat and burn old bushes out, and the hole will be expanded enough to quickly tap in the new ones.

Always wear suitable gloves and ear protection though!Does it matter how the control arm bushings are pressed in the brackets on Bmw?As long as they look like the old ones and they are in place exactly like the old ones were and they were undamaged during installation AND if they have arrows on them they have to line up with the arrows on the control arms casting.
