I am considering replacing the rear bushings while I have the trailing arms out. It is not intuitive to me how to remove the existing bushings. It doesn't look like they can be disassembled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Studs on both ends. nothing to put a wrench on. What am I missing? The factory manuals indicate that the rear bushings are not replaceable. I know better - I know that some of you have done this. I've searched for references on how to disassemble/ reassemble the rear trailing arm bushings but could not find enough info to figure it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Need some help! How are the rear bushings removed/reinstalled? Attached image(s)

If you do go with the plastic ones, there is a modification you can do to add a grease channel to the bushing - you may want to do that.
I've heard one story of cars with the plastic bushings being so tight that they hang on during corners using the bushing tenstion - and then can let go and have the suspension jolt. That gives me the willies. Fiid. |
