As usual, this is my 1998 C70 HPT Coupe but the question is applicable to 850s and S/V/C/70s.

I've just realized that the pivot bushing for my left rear (driver's side) delta link is installed backwards/upside down. (Thanks half-assed-job by original owner!)



it should look more like this (although this is the "other side")



The part being installed wrong tilts my left rear suspension down a couple inches, puts a nutty camber on the left rear wheel and is causing weird tire-wear.



it should look more like this:



Although it's live-able it's doing nothing good for the car, and obviously I need to fix it.

Question is... can I replace this bushing w/o dropping the entire delta link assembly?

As near as I can tell, this is part no. 9181027

Parts-wise, it seems like my only choice is ultra-cheap aftermarket or pay at least x2 for OEM dealer. After my experience with the URO lower control arms from IPD, I'm inclined to spend the extra dough...
