before we go any further, we need to clean the a-arms and get rid of all the gungy rubber left over inside the bushing ports.

i used a dremel with a wire wheel, and some goof off adhesive type remover. wear gloves if you don't like rubber stains on your hands:

sand and paint you arms now if you so desire, i used por-15 on all my stuff

be sure to clean the little metal pieces from the upper arms free of rubber too.

next, reinstall all the new bushings using the supplied lube that comes with the kit. this will stop any squeeks that WILL happen if you don't use it. lube everything that will move with a thin layer of it....
these are the uppers:

and the lowers:
