Hey,

Can anyone help me with the proper procedure for installing the 200 series
rear control arm bushings?

I seem to remember that there is some trick to installing them so that they
give long life (vs getting twisted and torn up in a few thousand miles if you install them wrong.)

Thanks guys,

Dave S.

The trick you may be referring to is to final tighten the nuts/bolts for the
control arms with the weight of the car on the suspension. You would have to
do this on ramps or on a drive on lift. I use ramps.
