Default Poly control arm bushings sleeve or not sleeve
Should I cut the sleeve out or leave it in? Seems it would fit better with the sleeve out.

i used a torch and rested the control arm on a piece of wood and let it burn the rubber while I scraped it off. how hard is the bushing to get out of the axle?
