I found the front drivers wheel bearings had some play. I noticed when I remove the c clip I could move the cv axle radially in the back where it enters the hub and I noticed there is a brass bushing in there. Is there typically a small amount of radial play there or should the cv axle be riding...
I’ve searched high, low, left, right and in between. I cannot find anything on the procedure to replace the old brass “seals/bushings“ in the pre 69 front end. I have replacement bushings on hand, the old ball and claw joints are disassembled and I’m ready to install the bushings. Just looking...
All,
I replaced all of the front suspension bushings (leading arm, lateral control rod, sway bar rubber) and i am now noticing a slight track/drift to the right. I thought it might be road crown but on a flat neighborhood street, with the steering wheel straight, the truck does track slightly...
I’m looking to replace some worn out radius arm bushings and hoped to find someone who has a set of the bushing press tools. Just read up on the wits end debacle which is unfortunate. Appreciate anyone who is willing to sell or rent locally in Seattle. Thanks!
I'm having trouble with the 3rd row seat attachment points. The seats don't want to fit properly into the rail and they come loose when I try to raise them up to the side. I think I'm missing a bushing on the rail that is bolted to the wheel well. I'm not sure what it looks like. Can anyone...
Anyone having good luck with strut assembly where the bushing does not collapse? I installed correctly (torqued at ride height) and the bushings still failed within 2 weeks. They are FCS off of Rockauto. (don't roast me). I am wondering if Monroe's are good or not? Everyone says "OEM", and I...
Hey y'all,
The cover to hold the sway bar bushing has fallen off. Sway bar makes a hell of a noise (bushing slides to the left on its own) when it hits the axle!! geeeeezus. Sound happened near home, so gonna take a walk and see if i can find it hahaha.
Anyways, so i think i have found the...
Anyone local to the DFW area have the Wits' End bushing press kit they would be willing to let me rent or borrow? Need to replace the bushings on the 80 and hope to only ever have to do it once.
Thanks,
Jon
Replacing leaf spring bushings,
The bolts that are on there, bolts look original, very hard to remove.
Photo's i've sen they look rough.
Should I just just replace with new? Seems like i should have them on hand before I start the process?
Are there better options than OEM? (greasable?)...
I've replaced all the bushings and U-joints on my '94 FZJ80, and won't do it again for a decade or more. So the 4 press tools and press are available for $100 total. The jack does weep a bit of oil but works like new. It's a good deal, and I can give 10 minutes of tips if you like when you...
I can’t find this info anywhere and I’m not afraid to ask dumb questions, so here it goes: are steering damper bushings the same as shock bushings? My Cruiser came with an ironman steering damper and the bushing is shot.
Has any seen or can recommend a complete bushing replacement kit for a 1981 pickup? I am looking to replace with rubber and all I’m seeing out there are polyeurethane kits. I’d rather keep the compliance of rubber. Or am I going to have to order them each individually?
Hi
Does anyone in the Chandler/SE Valley area have a tool to remove and press in the front LCA bushings on a hundy?
Consists of a threaded rod, nuts, washers and most importantly the right diameter plunger and catch?
I think I need to replace my bushings due to a front end vibration I have...
Replacing struts. Can’t get the KDSS link arm bushing hole to align. Do I need to put it on the ground to do this?
Should I loosen the KDSS bar mounting bolts?
Was doing an oil change last weekend and noticed that one of the swaybar bushings looks broken and squeezing out of its home. Does that look like the case to you all? Assuming this is a relatively easy job, unbolt swaybar, replace bushings, bolt swaybar back up.
I'm going to try describing this with words for now, because it's very tight in there, and it would be hard to photograph. But I'll post photos later if necessary.
I've had a 2001 LX470 for many years, and one of the 3rd row seats won't release from the floor to fold back up. There's a cable...
Hi
Could not find the answer, but sure someone did this before:
Did anybody fitted terrain tamer poly bushes into their old man emu leaf springs before?
Namely I would go with the BK5P for front and BK6P for the back.
Thanks
