+1 on the ball joints.
Yes, i put the bushing in the bracket but only half way. Used lots of liquid dish soap for lube. I guestimated the angle of the brackets. Regardless they do still spin on the control arm if enough force is applied so i figured i'll make final adjustments at installation time. No glue required.
Just remember to be quick or the bushing will stick to the control arm as it cools off causing the bracket to slip past the lip. I had to take one of them back off and reheat it. But that was the first one. After that they all went on easy. When it was all said and done i felt kinda foolish for stressing over it when i couldn't get a shop to do it for me. For less than 20 bucks i made made own press and did it myself which seems to always get me the best results.

Just to clarify...you put the rubber bushing in bracket and then put both on the A Arm as a single unit? I bought the stuff to do it with clamps but this looks better. How did you account for the angles? Isn't it critical to get them on at the correct angle...or does this fix itself. Obviously no need to glue the A Arm bushing on, correct? Just ready to do this myself after working for weeks to get the darned balljoints loose. What a major PITA....
