Yes I know because I had to order 2 different part #'s. The forward and rearward bushings. But they both look exactly the same to the naked eye.

 

Moog LCA bushings are also different front and rear

 

Can you see the difference

 

yes, look at the molded tabs on the bushing towards the top of the photo. frontmost bushing left, rear bushing right

I saw those on mine but they look the same on both

 

Its easy. Just put a bottle jack in there. They pop right out.

 

Huh??

 

There is a method that uses a bottle jack to press the bushings out.

 

Same concept

Be sure to aim the bushing you're removing at the neighbor's cat who likes to dig in your garden.

 

The bottle jack will "usually" do it but they can be rusted in enough that the LCA starts to bend first. So be aware and use the mallet and heat if they don't want to budge.

Yes I know. But this thread wasnt about that

 

... so you've got a problem with other forum members talking about how to get bushings out in a thread about bushings?
