Replaced all front suspension with original or Moog parts on my HHR SS. Purchased the Moog K200361 front LCA bushing. It looks smaller than the one in the control arm, plus how do you get the old one out and new on installed? Any thoughts? I did not change it since the original ones looked new, but still could if I was sure they were right before destroying the old ones getting them out.
Thanks!

You've got to press the old out-new in with some type of press. Either a tool made for the job or some have "fashioned" their own press.

BUT. On the SS it makes more sense to replace the entire Lower control arms with the correct FE5 arms. That way you'll have new front and rear bushings and the correct FE5 ball joint . No sense in replacing the 1 bushing and still having the original, worn ball joint.

FYI. Rockauto carries the correct AC Delco LCA's for the SS. We have the part # in the Common Used Parts sticky.

I’ve never had to change the front bushing in the LCA’s, just the rears
