Hi Loekyloeky said:i've been kicking around the idea of starting a redo of all the suspension bushings w/ poly kit i found online. does this really need 5+ jacks to do the front? i was going to tackle this by myself, but now am a little hesitant.
any general advice for how to proceed?

Ask for "Magic Lube". A clear sticky silicone-teflon lube that water will not wash away.
Comes in large 'toothpaste tube' container.
Wear gloves (rubber surgens style), stuff isn't harmful, just really tough to 'wash off' yer hands . . .
better than KY jelly !
