1966 Control Arm Bushings
Hey yall, looking for some help, or just some verification on control arm bushings for top and bottom. I have read that first getting the old ones off can be a real pain in the arse, but that's the hardest part. I found you can buy new shaft kit with bushings for like 12 bucks at rockauto, and I plan on just taking old ones off, sand blasting them at home and then paint em.
So as far as putting the new shaft and bushings in, is it as easy as it seems to where the stuff just basically screws on? or am I missing something here? lol Thanks. |

Re: 1966 Control Arm Bushings
Yep, that's basically it. Make sure you get them centered, i.e. screw each side into the arm and into the shaft the same amount. You need some really big sockets (IIRC 1 3/8" and 1 5/8") unless you're using a big pipe wrench.
