Another image of the new bushing being pressed into place.  The removed bushing was evenly seated in the bracket (see the next image for confirmation) - this image highlights how the version of the on-vehicle installation tool did not have evenly matched plates for installing a new bushing.

Here is the control arm re-inserted into the new bushing.  This was much more easily manipulated and completed off the vehicle.  I did use my hydraulic press to complete the process, too.

How the bad FL rear control arm bushing looked on the vehicle, once the control arm was removed.

The old bushing pieces were pressed out of the bracket and pried off of the control arms.

I'm also in the process of adding a JBL Basspro Go subwoofer/Bluetooth speaker.  I had to gain access to the speaker wires for one of the rear speakers, so I also took the time to line/seal the rear speaker enclosures with butyl sound deadening material.  This was the left-rear speaker cavity.
