Do I have to change Bushings when I swap control arms?

[Panzer_M]

I got a set of Meyle control arms to install on the club sport.

I have 95 M3 control arm bushings, but I don't have a press and don't have the time for the car to be out for a few days.

So I was wondering if I can install the arms and new struts with my mechanic friend and later when it goes to the shop for a clutch, have the bushings installed then.

I think it's possible, BUT, you're most likely gonna destory the old bushing removing them from the old control arms.

I only say it's possible because you have the more solid M3 bushings (or completely solid, don't know about the '95 bushings). If you had the original 318/325/328 bushings, it's almost guaranteed you'll wreck 'em
