The thrust arm bushings are toast, joints seem ok.
I was wondering if I could fill the bushings.
I have filled motor mounts on my other car with 3M Windo-Weld to stiffen them up with good results. I followed these instructions (http://tech.mirage-performance.com/enginemounts.html)

If I can't fill them,
How hard is it really to press out the bushings?
Should I put in the M5 or 750 bushings?
Should I just stop fooling and cough up the coin for new arms?

Jeff, I know you had some thrust arm bushing issues, any advice?

dude I have thrust arm experience up the ass, after 4-5 sets I went with Lemforder arms with M5 bushings and havent had a failure in 6 months or more. the other bushings I can trash in 1 hard stop, not worth the work. Spend the money once and be done. I wouldnt bother filling them as they are a high use wear item wheras other componants dont move laterally and vertically as much.

ps: my fronts are out of balance but do not shake at the 55-65 mph thing as all the other bushings did. just a slight vibe at 80ish.
