The LCA's were still on the car so I had to improvise.

Haven't driven it on the street yet. I did back it up and turned a few times and it felt a lot tighter.

I checked the inside of the sleeve for cracking before the bushings went in and checked the rest of the front end today. No problems.
The only thing I screwed up on was I didn't realize there was a difference in the sway bar to body bushings and they ended up going in backwards.
Doesn't look like it will have any negative effect though.
