I need to replace the front rubber bushings and am planning to use the Elephant Racing bushings and install tools. I have not been able to find a video or other info regarding removal of the control arms. I am not near my car so I can't crawl under right now.
Will I need to remove the hubs, brakes or anything else to remove the control arms? Thanks, Jack |

This is the minimum needed to replace the bushings...
1. Disconnecting the inboard cv axle 2. Flex brake line from the arm to the body 3. The bottom shock bolt Once this is done you will need to support the control arm under the bearing area (balancing) before you go any further. Once you have this done it's a simple matter of unbolting the camber mount and the inside nut on the shaft and press the shaft out and replace the bushing. hope this helps |
