Rear suspension bushing tool
I have the Whiteline Plus bushings for the lateral links and trailing arms and have access to a press.
I would like to know however what tool (brand, PN, etc.) I will need to effectively press out/in the rear trailing arm bushing located in the knuckle. Thanks.

The rear trailing arm bushing in the knuckle is very very easy to press out.
I had a harbor freight bushing press kit that I was going to use, but the heavy duty c clamp in the kit couldn't really fit right without taking off the rotor, so I tried to use a normal cheap c clamp, and the bushing popped right off with little force or trouble. didnt even have to use a socket or anything, just put one clamping side on the bushing, the other on the knuckle, and tighten. |

Thanks for the feedback.
I have big sockets so that's not a problem. I thought about a c-clamp fastwrx25 and I have a couple of those. I don't do too much work and did not really want to spend $100 or more on a bushing install/removal kit. Now if it stops raining out here and my friend is around I can whip the entire bushing in/out in a few hours. |
