Bushing install tool., Recommendations needed. Options

[BiG bOgGs]

I’m getting ready to put my front suspension back together, but I don’t have the tool to press the bushings on. Would anyone direct me to one of our vendors that sells the tool?

I tried the bar clamp method without success. If your bushings are URO, maybe they'll be a bit softer and looser.

Full disclosure: I shot the bushing install video for 914 Rubber (in my link below) and, I'm clearly biased about their quality. That said, believe me when I say this isn't a job you want to do twice. Use the best bushings you can afford.

There's also a really good chance you'll trash a bushing or three till you get them installed correctily. 914Rubber will take back any uninstalled bushings with no restocking fee...so you can get a few spares and not hold up your project.

Of course, I understand not wanting to lay out more $$ for something you already have. As Kent mentioned, there are definitely ways to install without a special tool. Very cool that John will lend you the tools. This community is amazing. Whatever you decide, good luck and be safe!
