Now that I've acquired all the necessary components, refinished the various pieces and viewed several YT videos, I'm ready to install the new bushings and put everything back together. A couple of questions remain however...

1. How did the factory index the bushing carriers originally? My measurements prior to removing the old bushings are a little imprecise as the old bushings (I'm thinking originals!) weren't particularly tight. The foam seal at the rear bushing had dissolved into dust!

2. When I install the new bushings (with plenty of soap), what kind of working time do I have to reorient them afterwards?

3. Is it easier to install the new ball-joint to the a-arm first or the bottom of the shock strut?
