Hello,
I am looking for some advice. The rear bushing in my 84 GL sedan are totaly shot. They are obviously the originals. They all feel spongy and some are splitting. I have replaced all of the front suspention bushings and it made a huge difference
The problem is that I dont have a press or access to one. I am also pretty broke right now. FCP Grotton sells a a rear bushing kit with all 10 rear bushings, but I cant afford to have them installed, or even just pressed in after I do all of the removal/install work.
My question is, if I could only replace the bushings in one rear system, which is the most critical as far as preventing any other type of wear/dammage to things like my transmission? I know that I have to replace bushings in pairs, if there is a left and right bushing for safety reasons, but my main concern is preventing other parts from wearing out due to worn bushings. I just replaced a u joint and my tailshaft bushing/seal plus center support bearing within thelast 6 months. I am worried because I have been told that worn rear bushings put much greater strain on the transmission and I definitely cant afford one for those right now. I hope I have been clear with my request. Thanks all of the help, Kenneth
