I somehow managed to bend my front upper control arms while pressing out my bushing sleeves.

Looking for both upper control arms, damaged bushings or not. I just need them to be straight.

No problem, I think it's an auto so I'll have to check that it is a Sport since it's and 04' LY.

it doesn't do any good to put better bushings in if the ball joint is worn

LOL yea I did, I followed the ES instructions. Minus the pressing of the sleeve, apparently the upper control arm metal is soft enough to bend.
