Decided to ditch the hard plastic bushings and go with the rubber versions from 914 Rubber.


There are instructions for the A-arms (and I found Cuddy K's video) however for the trailing arms I see no such thing.

Thanks,

Mike

That stand holding the arm is the key. Otherwise you'll need a 3rd hand. I hated those noises plastic bushings. Did you use Elephants or 914 Rubber's bushings. I was curious if the 914 Rubber bushings fit as tightly?

I used the 914Rubber rubber bushings.
They took some effort to slide into the arms by themselves, not too bad.

My order of installation.

Push bushing into "short" side of arm tube with arm laying flat on side facing trunk wall, "tall" side of arm facing upwards.

Then I pushed the axle into already installed bushing from the top side.

Now place bushing in arm. This side gave me more trouble or resistance.

See newly drawn pics for a rough idea how it was done.
