Trailing arm bushings 71 SWB

[Frankie P.]

So I've used the method of removing old crusty bushings out of my trail arms. My dilemma is, once I insert the new energy suspension poly bushing in, the second piece (smaller poly ring) doesn't want to stay put. Is it necessary to use the whole kit or can I just insert the medal sleeve in the larger bushing and install? It appears that the bushing is tapered and the medal insert expands it and keeps it in tight.

Need to use it all. It get sandwitched between the mount to hold it all tight. A little grease will hold it where it needs to go as you put it back on the truck.

Before bolting the arms up I put the energy suspension bushings in the freezer for an hour then I greased them up and they slid right into place, I pushed the ring on the other side and everything stayed right where it was supposed to until I bolted in place.
