Front bushings 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Wed Jan 22 17:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The control arm and strut rod bushings at the frame end usually last almost forever. If they are shot, they are cheap and easy to replace if you have a press. The strut rod "cone" bushings (where the strut rod joins the control arm) as other respondants have noted, wear faster and are the easiest to replace with no press required. You'll have to remove the strut rod to replace these and you can check the frame end bushing for wear at that time. Front end work is a lot more "pleasant" and goes a lot faster if you have access to a large impact wrench. If not, have a large breaker bar on hand and plan on a lot of grunting and groaning as the bolts you'll encounter are large and VERY tight.
