panhard / tracking arm
Has anyone replaced the bushings in their panhard bar? I don't have a press and I don't want to screw up the new bushing. I just need to know if its easy to do or should I just spend and extra few dollars and buy a new bar and bushings pre-assembled?

Re: panhard / tracking arm
I haven't done it, but try a C-clamp since you don't have a press.

Re: panhard / tracking arm
cclamp will do it// a bit easier if you put bushings in the freezer far a day and cleanup the hole nice and slick and use water for lubrication// i've also used long bolts wahers and nuts to pull them in
