If you have the LCAs over there already, you shouldn't have to send them back to the US to have the bushings changed. It doesn't take any special tools. Just a press and some experience. If you have someone there that can do this kind of stuff, you should be able to hook up with someone here for the details. I, for one, would be glad to share the info. I just changed a pair last week for a buddy. Not that big a deal once you do a set or two.
Use the Moog bushings, but be careful of counterfeits. The ones I changed last week had only been in for a couple of years. But the rubber was completely shot and the outer shell had even began to split at a seam. And they were supposed to be Moog, too.
Master, again and still

https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/thr...dy-cars.413288/I do that type of work. Check out the link at the top of the page, from another Mopar forum, to what i do. I can do just bushing labor, or if you want them all looking pretty, and detailed too. Labor charged accordingly. Sending them overseas, is going to cost lotsa $$$$$$$$. Be aware of that. I have sent all over the globe to customers.

Easiest way. Press the shaft and inner sleeve out from the rear. Tear the rubber out if it remains. Weld a 1/8" thick washer to the remaining outer shell of the bushing. Do not weld to the control arm itself. Then press the outer shell forward by pressing against the washer from the rear. Removing the outer shell by this method is far neater than trying to chisel it out. Chiseling it out will mar it up. Chisel the inner sleeve off the stud. If its subborn slice the sleeve slightly front to back with a cut off wheel. Press the bushing in from the front. Support the inner sleeve from the rear and press the stud in from the front. It's actully pretty easy. Doug
Edit; if I was smarter I would have realized that the you tube video listed above also has a removal video below it showing the same thing. Anyway it works well, lol

I just completed ours on our 1974 Satellite.
I sliced the lip of the outer sleeve in several places, took my torches heated the sleeve red hot. Drove a screwdriver down behind the sleeve to make some room. I then heated it red hot again and pried the sleeve further out. Grabbed channel locks and pulled it out. This is third time I have done this and by far, this was the easiest.

I can come over to Sweden and do them for you if you like. It's not a hard job so I will do it for just airfare and a room to stay in. It may take a week.... No two weeks over there.
