Anyone have tips on removing the rubber bushings from the front shock alignment plate/mount without destroying them? I'd like to take this apart to clean and repaint but the bushings look great and I'd like to reuse them.
Thanks!  |

Leave them in and use a wire wheel to clean them up. Just put some HD tape on the edges.

No sense in sacrificing good original bushings and it sounds like removing them may be a one-way trip. Curious about those 2-piece replacement bushings. Do you glue them together on install? Thanks for all the advice. I learned something today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I'm not sure you can really tell a bushing is good by looking at it. Rubber degrades over time but at least if it needs replacement, it's not hard to do after the fact. |
