Did you bleed the air out of the system through the little valve on the thermostat housing, if not that could be your problem or could also be a stuck thermostat.

Bleed the system.. There's porbably a ton of air trapt. There's a bolt on top of the t-stat housing (7mm) that you'll need to loosen up while it's running. Wait until you see a solid stream before closing. Secondly, make sure there's coolant in the system. Water is a nice short term alternative, but it also boils at a much lower temp than coolant, which you won't want if you're driving long distances.

As for the low coolant sensor, it's on the radiator on the left side (passenger side) next to the upper trans oil cooling line. There's a c-clip holding it on.

As for the control arm bushings. They're right behind the tire, attached to the spindle and engine cradle. Be better off taking it in to have them replaced as they'll need to be pressed off/on. Nothing to stress about though, unless they're starting to break apart.

Why buy something sensible with a RWD setup when you can build something really stupid, like this
