Bushing replacement

[Toshiro]

after a minor incident and much deliberation, i have decided to swap out my rear bushings to poly bushings. My only question is how hard is this swap...and how much will have to pay at a shop.

Please try to even more vague next time.

There's over a dozen bushings in the rear.

hehe, are they the subframe bushings? control arm bushings?

You take that one thing out. Get the bushing out. Put the new one in.


Hope that helps as much as your post. ;)

they have special tools to remove certain bushings. you can rent them free at kragen/autozone type of stores with a deposit.

you can alway burn the bushing out.

Yeah, and make sure you use that special JDM only bushing-burner tool, speeds the job up a lot

the upper and lower rear control arm bushings

For the amount of greif ull go through to do it yourself and the money a shop will charge u(unless u know how or someone else that does) u might want to just replace the whole arm with an aftermarket tubular peice. Its a bit more but is much burlier than stock. Then again I'm a cheap bastard and like doing anoying things like bushing replacement so hell do whatever. Access to a press would do wonders here. Most any shop can do this work, give a couple locals a call and ask them how much it would be to
A: do all the work 4 you (warrentys R nice)
B: just take them the part and have them press them in 4 you
