    I'm currently working on the rust frame repair on my 2000 Tacoma sr5 4x4. Well the hanger in the front of the driver's side tire had to be cut completely out. So I used a cutting wheel to free the bolt from the bushing because it was seized up. Now I'm working on getting the old rubber bushing out and that's a task in itself. But also I want to ask where did you all purchase your replacement bushings from? And did you go poly or back to rubber?

    I have found Wheelers Offroad to have very good prices.

    If you don't have a press available you can burn it out with a torch.

    How are your springs ? Mine were shot so I replaced them, and they came with bushings.
