I should be getting my rear suspension bushing kit from IPD this week. I would like to know if anyone has any tips to do it? Am I going to run into taking anything to a shop to be pressed in or out? I've searched this and other newgroups and cant find anything on the subject for the PV..........

I'm fairly skilled and have done all repairs myself thus far, but I also know when its better to bring in an expert if special tools, hoists are required. My biggest concern is the de-compression of the rear springs. As I see it, I will need to jack up the body and have a jack under the differential to start, then release the differential jack slowly. Can this be done 1 side at a time, or am I going to have to do both at the same time for ease of alignment during reassembly?

And lastly, anyone have comments about the before and after results?


Thanks!
