Hi everyone
I want to get my rear control arms powder coated black soon. What I don't want to do is remove my rear original rubber busings as they are in really good shape! Will the bake dry process damage the bushings? thanks |

The rear wheel bearing is a press fit already, so adding any thickness whatsoever would make the bearing impossible to install.
I leave the bushings, shaft, and old wheel bearing installed before powder coating. Then pull all that afterwards. You have to be more careful to not mess up your new finish, but it means all those surfaces are still perfect. |
