OK so I searched and didn't seem to find an answer. I am currently installing a full ES bushing kit into my s13. The entire front end is done without any problems. My question regards the rear. the Directions say to remove the inner metal sleeve, rubber part, and also outer metal ring for the lower rear control arms and also one bushing in the upright. But should I also remove the outer ring in all of the other control arms? It seems like I should remove both metal rings and rubber from all of the control arms, but maybe I shouldnt? Hopefully someone else that has performed this install knows what I mean lol.

I did the install myself recently. Yes, you'll need to remove both the metal rings and old bushing from each of the control arms.

/agree

For the a-arms be careful if you're trying to press out the sleeves. The old method is to burn out the bushing and put a relief cut into the sleeve.
