Rear suspension bushings 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Julio Manalo on  Fri Sep 14 04:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello All!

I know, I know, another bushing question. Well not just one actually but three...1) How do I install the rear trailing arm bushing (the one mounted to the lower part of the rear differential housing)? Can I just use a drift and hammer it in while the car is on a lift? 2) The rear trailing arm bushing is kinda tapered, from which side does it enter, from center of the car going out or from ouside towards the center? 3) The bushing seems to be oval shape in section. How is it oriented, vertically or horizontally?

I just finished the last part in my suspension upgrade, IPD sway bars front and rear. I have Bilsteins, upper and lower chassis braces, strut tower bars and HD wagon rear springs (this is a 245 GL) and the car handles great even on ordinary Goodyear 185/70-14's. I just discovered though that my right rear trailing arm bushing is shot and needs to be replaced, hence the questions.

Thanks in advance to all.
