The tool is designed for older American cars with the "A-arm" style upper control arm with a shaft through the bushings. I took a chance and got lucky one size of the included adaptors fit perfectly for my truck. The quality of the tool is good, better than expected. I torqued on the C-frame pretty hard (with hand tools, no impact) to remove the old factory bushings and it never flexed or deformed. I considered a few cheaper no-name versions but am glad I spent the extra $20 for the Powerbuilt. The C-shaped adaptor that goes around the shaft to push out the bushing was too short to fully remove the Toyota bushing so I cut a section out of an old bushing to stack inside and extend the reach. (See photos.) Note the Toyota design requires removal of the the outside end of the bushing to allow this or any removal tool to fit against the end of the control-arm tube. The factory service manual just says cut. I used an air hammer and chisel to bend up the lip for clearance then cut with a reciprocating saw. That was the most difficult part of the job. Installation was easy. Used the same c-adaptor with the push cup to get the new bushing started. Replaced it with a flat bar to seat the last few millimeters. Bonus - I did not get pictures but I was able to use the adaptors in various combinations to remove and install the lower control arm and strut bar bushings as well, no burning or drilling the bushings. The C-frame was not helpful for the lowers so I used some all-thread and grade-8 hardware to press the bushings out and in, but the included cups and adaptors made this easy with a little head scratching and a couple sockets to get the setups just right. If I had had access to a standard Ball Joint removal kit with a larger collection of adaptors and cups it would have been faster to set up but I was able to make it go right with the included parts. I removed one bushing from the UCA via the caveman method (drilling the rubber, heating with a torch, hammer and punches, lots of swearing) before I found this tool. A couple of hours caveman versus under 10 minutes and no swearing using the tool... I am happy with this purchase even if I don't use it again for years. Review: Works great w/ some minor quibbles - Ok I used it toady. You do disturb alignment. You have to take 22mm nuts off bolts holding upper control arm on and swing arm out to remove 24mm nuts/washers/press bushings out. You can mark frame and try to mount control back on frame close to original location. Bushings press out from inside out arm. A receiving adapter goes on outside of control arm. It's supposed to sit over/around bushing on control arm(not bushing-it straddles bushing) but bushing was a little bit too big in diameter so it sat a little off center. A adapter goes on the inside to push bushing out. A c clamp w/ a treaded rod pulls the receiver and adaper together via a threaded rod tightened by a 22mm socket. I had to use a 17 inch long gearwrench flex head 1/2 inch ratchet to get enough torque to pop bushings. To press in new bushing,it is the opposite. The bushing is pressed in from the outside using a insert that matches bushing diameter. The other end of c clamp goes inside of arm w/o any attachements.Plenty of krano kroil was used to press out and press in bushings. I discovered that you really have to line insert up w/ bushing during press in and pay attention that it stays centered and doesn't slip to outside. This happened on first bushing and it slipped off bushing bent the metal lip of bushing and put a dent in outside corner of rubber. This was minor and since bushing was half pressed in I recentered insert and pushed it in the rest of the way. It looks ok in. Just a slightly bent lip on one side. The bushing on other side pressed in fine. Removal ,however ,involved the bushing being pressed out of arm but it remained seized on shaft. I removed shaft and put it in a vise. I removed w/ knipex pliers. Tommorow or wednesday i'll do the passenger side of my '99 dakota club cab R/T. Please note that this truck was garage kept w/ 50,000 orignal miles. Tool works well but I wish it would straddle outside of bushing better. I don't like pressing bushing out at a slight angle. I'm having trouble getting the upper control arm remounted. I think I will have to loosen bottom shock mounts so upper arm can be pulled back over the bolts on frame. I got arm back on frame. Brake line wouldn't mount. It was off by a 1/2 inch from the holes in arm.I inadvertently bent brake line swing arm back into position to remount on frame. Brake line got caught. After carefully rebending brake line,it went into place. ## Features - Vehicle Compatibility - Designed for Ford, Chrysler, and GM vehicles to remove and install press-fit upper control arm bushings without removing the control arm - Efficient Operation - Includes multiple bushing adapters and drivers that allow quick pressing in or out of bushings using a mallet, saving time and reducing effort - Complete Tool Set - Features C-frame press, O-ring, receiving adapter, forcing screw, caps, and three “C” adapters for versatile service applications - Durable Construction - Made from high-strength materials for long-lasting durability, suitable for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts - Organized Storage - Comes with a sturdy storage case that keeps all components organized, protected, and easy to transport ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0028QGT90 | | Auto Part Orientation | Drivers Side | | Auto Part Position | Upper | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,335 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #45 in Automotive Replacement Control Arm Bushing Kits | | Brand | Powerbuilt | | Brand Name | Powerbuilt | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 258 Reviews | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00028907103723 | | Included Components | Upper Control Arm Bushing Service Set | | Item Weight | 9.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Alltrade Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | 648604 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime Warranty | | Orientation | Drivers Side | | UPC | 028907103723 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Auto Part Position:** Upper - **Brand:** Powerbuilt - **Color:** Silver - **Fit Type:** Universal Fit - **Orientation:** Drivers Side ## Images ![Upper Control Arm Bushing Service Tool Set for Ford, GM and Chrysler, Remove and Install Car Bushings, 648604 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uD0pG8DEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this work with removing and installing a 2007 dodge Dakota's LOWER control arm bushings???** A: No **Q: Would this work on a 2004 Dakota upper control arm?** A: Worked great for me **Q: Will this service a 99 Jeep grand Cherokee front upper control arm bushing?** A: Some of the reviews say that they will, in my case the only plat that I was able to use was the C-Clamp and some of the collars/caps, I have a Dodge Dakota rear wheel drive, you probable will need to go to your local hardware store and purchase plumbing / electrical pipes, that worked for me and mind a lot cheaper. Look at NAPA auto parts for the bushings, they have the dimensions for the control arm bushings, that way you know what size to get. Sorry I could be of more help. **Q: Will this do the lower control arm bushings on a gmc 1 ton?** A: I own a 98 K1500 4x4. It did not have the adapters to press out the lower control arm bushings. Unhappy with that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Right Tool for the Job *by T***Y on August 11, 2021* I used this tool successfully to change the 22-year old upper (and lower) control arm bushings on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma 2wd 5-lug.

This is the exact tool the auto parts store offers for rent (same brand). There are cheaper versions of this tool on Amazon but I ended up ordering this tool and it was definitely worth it. The tool is well constructed and comes with a nice case. I used this to remove and install the upper control arm bushings on a 1999 GMC sonoma and it worked better than I expected. It probably took 5 minutes to remove the bushings from each control arm and another 5 minutes to install the new bushings. It got rid of that annoying squeaking noise and the truck drives much better now! ## Frequently Bought Together - Powerbuilt Upper Control Arm Bushing Service Tool Set for Ford, GM and Chrysler, Remove and Install Car Bushings, 648604 - Powerbuilt Strut Coil Spring Compressor Tool Kit, Compress, Remove and Install Vehicle Strut and Coil Springs Set for Vehicles, Storage Case 648628, Black - Orion Motor Tech Ball Joint Press Kit, Heavy Duty Ball Joint Removal Tool Kit with 4x4 Adapters, for Most 2WD and 4WD Cars and Light Trucks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/11772379-upper-control-arm-bushing-service-tool-set-for-ford-gm](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/11772379-upper-control-arm-bushing-service-tool-set-for-ford-gm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
