Re: Novice needs help with big jobs 200 1986

I can't help much other than to say that the rear bushings are NOT a Socket/vise job. I used the socket trick BUT I fortunately had a friend with a serious hydraulic press. I removed all the exess undercoating that was on everything and the press really grunted before the bushings broke loose.

The shocks and springs are a cake walk and a very obvious simple job. Just doing the bushings, you're halfway done with the shocks.

If you are doing the raer springs because you are sagging a bit, It may not be your springs. When your trailing arm Bushing is shot,it can account for about 1" of raer end droop.
