Front shock/coilover bushing.

Yes, I did the search. And looked through a couple dozen pages of what the search pulled up. So, would anyone mind possibly pointing me in right direction for replacing the bushings on my front coilovers please? Or posting a link where someone has done this. My shocks are still good, bushings just need to be replaced. I know I'm probably going to have to use a torch and press. Just wanting to see if there are any other tricks/ways around about doing this task. Thanks in advance!

 

Anyone?

 

Anyone?

 

are you talking the lower bushing that attaches to the lower arm or the upper one?
do not use a torch on a shock. if you can find a replacement bushing just press out the old one and press in the new one.

 

Yes the lower. The one that attaches to LCA. And yeah, I was thinking about the whole torche and pressurized gas thing. Probably wouldn't be my smoothest move if I had tried that lol. And thank you for your reply. I have access to a bearing puller maybe that will work. If not I'll have to carry it somewhere that has a press. Any techniques you know of to kind of hyperextend the LCA without loosening the bolts where the LCA meets the frame? I've heard of using come a long and I also have a port a power. Just wondering if there is a good spot to use it.

 

i dont remember doing anything fancy. i just unbolt the upper from the spindle then pull out the shock lol

 

Yeah. Forgot to add I have a spacer lift on top of my coilover/shock assembly.
