Default Control Arm bushings

2001 S4, 2.7L, 6 Spd manual - Are the upper front (foreward and aft) control arm bushing replaceable? I see an add for an A4 kit at
(http://blauparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MA21032%2DA), but I don't know if this also fits the S4?? Do I just drill out the old and press in the new? They don't look to be replaceable to me, when I examine the bushing in the control arm.

i had the same problem ECS Tuning sells a kit for it. I just went ahead and replaced all the arms and TRE's with the kit they sell. it is an A4 kit, but it all works out if you buy the one listed under s4

I'm pretty sure you have to press the new bushing in... Do you have a press? I hear they are a pain in the a$$ is you don't.

Its not worth it to replace the bushings only. Get the control arm kit from ECS, as I recall, its only like $150 more or something like that. Removing/installing the bushings is going to be a PITA. The upgraded CA kit is a much better deal and is less work.
