When doing rear bushings is it necessary to do the front as well? 200

Getting the bushings OUT is not so much the problem, though it's not really fun. A long (8-inch?) air chisel, which is often used to take apart exhaust parts, does a nice job collapsing the outer housing of the old bushing, and encoraging it to come right out.
But when installing the new ones, you MUST have a spacer, like The Tool includes, to keep the ears on the axle bracket straight while driving the new bushing in. Good luck!
