I just spent the last 2 rainy days changing all of the rear bushings in my 240. The book says to torque them all when the vehicle is at ride height. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to fit under that car when it's on the ground. I wanted to put the rear wheels on ramps and torque up the stuff that way. Any problems with that method? Oh, one note: I made the bushing puller tool that's been floating around here and after a few adjustments, it worked great. The only problem I have is that I didn't realize the axle bushings have to be "Clocked" until I installed one wrong, so I have to push it out and turn it tomorrow. What is the purpose of those hole in the rubber and why do they have to be clockes? Anyone know?
