I purchased these along with my a arm bushings. I am about to install the a arm bushings and have a clear understanding of how to install those, but not the trailing arm bushings. I have watched a video on the trailing arm bushings install, but the type of bushing he was using is unknown unless I missed something. Do 914 Rubber trailing arm bushings get installed with grease? Are these rubber or teflon?
Thanks for any input, John   |

I used a Harbor Freight 12 ton press to install my A arm bushings. Worked like a charm. Keep the bushings in the hot water until the moment you are about to install them. Lube them up with soap and press them on.
Luckily, somebody loaned me the Elephant install tools that are aluminum rather than plastic. |
