Re: trac bar bushings
Are these easy to change? May as well add them to the list when I do the control arms...

Re: trac bar bushings
I see there isn't a price on those. In my experience most of those "Rare Parts" parts are $$$$$
I'm all for buying local, but have you checked with LMC or Classic Parts?

Re: trac bar bushings
NAPA online shows $49.99 each on that bushing #. GM still sells them in their original boxes as I bought a pair for my trailing arms on 3/5/13. Group 5.381 part # 3762012 bushing list price then was $21.91 ea. Mark

Re: trac bar bushings
Were you able to get them from a local dealer, or was it from one of the online GM parts retailers such as gmpartsdirect?

Re: trac bar bushings
Sorry, I may have been mistaken on what bushings on the rear end you are asking about. My reply posting was for the rear trailing arms, front bushings for the coil spring rear end that I posted the part# for and they were available from any local GM dealer. The single factory rear stabilizer link bar was sold as a complete bar with bushings from GM in my GM parts book and was discontinued. I was able to find a NOS bar with bushings for mine for $75. I know the reproduction bars for about $69 are complete and adjustable for length too if your doing any height modifications.

Re: trac bar bushings
Your other option... If you would like to try poly is energy suspension they may both bushing inserts and the set is less than $20 I think. Just drill out the old bushing, apply the supplied grease and insert. Was very easy and at a great price. You can also do the same for the truck arms, u just have to leave the old bushing outer shell in place.

Re: trac bar bushings
I replaced my trac bar and trailing arm bushings with polyurethane ones I bought from LMC. Here is my method for old bushing removal. Leave the metal bushing there if you use the polyurethane replacments. EASY!!

Re: trac bar bushings
Both the control arm/trailing arm and radius arm bushings are sold for dirt cheap at summit, energy suspension brand no less. The radius/tracking/panhard bar bushings came right out. Couldn't even press out the trailing arm ones without the rubber sucking the pin back in. You re-use the outer shells anyways, and i did this on the truck: Support one arm so rear doesn't rotate down, remove bolts, lower arm down below mounts, or jack up if bed is off (i had no driveshaft to dealw ith.)
Heat INNER metal bushing tube lightly from inside with propaane/mapgas torch, jsut when you start to hear any sizzle, like quiet fast sizzling bacon, stop, and push out easily with screwdriver or punch or whatnot. They literally slide out. With the metal bushing out, when cool in a few minutes, the rubber will come right out. Easiest bushings on the whole truck.
