[mervo]

@Aloha Jen , I would like apologize now for the comments that are about to begin.... again.

Thank goodness you're a good sport with a good looking rig (and I do mean your LC)

What year? I could have some goodies coming for it

2005 LX. I'll have to check the site and see what you've got. It is planned to be my wife's DD. We will see.

My project today...View attachment 1162257

How difficult was this? I need to do it. Were you noticing any rattling prior to replacing them?

Umm, WTF?!?! I bought a 2001 Hundy with 49k on it and you didn't tell me you have goodies coming for it!

Rattles yes. But even after 20 years the bushings did not look bad. It was not a difficult job just time consuming. I spent most of the time drilling the old stuff out. From there it was pretty easy pressing the new bushings in.

 

[LS1FJ40]

Do you need a hydraulic press to push in the new bushings?

A press makes it a really easy job. However, you don't need a 20-Ton press.

Posted on the correct page number.

Because you're not from Texas.

Is there a 30 ton press?

Damn. Very little to date for the 2004+

For YOU I do...but still working on it. I saw the 49k and figured it was raining corn swill again.

 

[Golgo13]

This 50,000 ton press came in handy to get the old bushings out...

 

[Dragos80]

I'm a firm believer in "the bigger, the better" concept.

I just let Chuck Norris remove and put new bushings in for me.

 

[JHB Cruising]

Just doing the front control arm bushings. Also picked up some spc rear lower control arms.

Speaking of which, do you still have any spares around?

Hmm, let me check

Hmm, let me check

No worries. All my fronts are shot pretty much. If not I will just track down the turk or cdan.
