Do you have to press out the radius rod to control arm bushes as well? Or can these be done easily with hand tools?

@sprtn1o69 Afraid so, It can all be done with hand tools and a good bench vice, it just takes a heck of alot more time and effort, but can be done.

You wouldn't happen to know if vs or vt lower control arms would fit into a Vk would you? I want to get rid of the old cartridge style strut body setup my vk has

@hypercordz Im afraid not, Unless you where to change the entire front end suspension setup and including K frame, from a VS commodore.

Cheers

@HDXFH Thanks Larry! Car feels so nice to drive now :)

@gerald2003r Yeah its great for suspension stuff, I can say ive been using it on control arms and what not for the last few years at work, never had a complaint or car come back, This is just my personal opinion, but i think there alot better than the stock rubber bushes.
