Re: Front Control arm Bushing replacement
I meant the front when I posted it.
All of the options will work, but the easiest way is to get an air chisel with a flat blade and with the control arm on the ground, put the blade under the metal lip on the bushing and hit the trigger, the bushing will move out slightly, so flip the control arm do it again to the opposite side of the bushing. Keep flipping the arm until the bushing comes out. When you get the first bushing out, the cross-shaft will slide out.
I just did mine about 3 weeks ago, and it took me 10 minutes max to drive out the upper and lower bushings. If you haven't decided on what style of bushings to replace your stockers with, I highly recommend Energy Suspension bushings. They are super easy to install, and aren't much more than stock bushings. Just have a bunch of rags ready. The silicone grease that they come with is the nastiest stuff ever. It gets everywhere.
