Control Arm bushings, replacement question 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Wed Sep 24 04:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

When I did them recently, it was worth the trouble to remove the parts and bring them to a local machine shop. Here's a hint, when you reinstall them, you need to leave the rear nut loose until weight is on the wheel. If you do it that way, you need to remove the exhaust to get a wrench in there (on the right side). Before you remove anything, mark the position of the rear part of the A arm in the bushing with the car on the ground and use that alignment mark when reinstalling.
