Lower control arm bushings
How difficult is it to install new LCA bushings in a 95 Civic? Is it something a normal Joe can do or is it something a mechanic would have to do. If it is something a mechanic would have to do, about how much am I looking at? Thanks.

My friend that sold me the car said that the old ones are already out. I dunno, if it's possible to be driving without them. As far as my mechanical experience...um...I can't work on engines or anything but I can do basic stuff like replacing struts/shocks, doing brake jobs.

Nah you can't be driving with no bushings. I think he meant "out" as in they are shot.
LCA bushings are simple... just getting the old ones out and the new ones in is the hard part. The auto parts stores rent tools, and I am pretty sure you can rent the press you need to press out the bushings. Or you can take off the LCAs and go to a shop that can do it for you.
