Guys,



Anyone have any old used pillow ball bushings?? Or is anyone about to change theirs??



I am willing to pay shipping up to $5 for one or two. I'd like to see what I'm getting myself into before I try to change them.



Thanks,



Mark

Mark,



I just replaced mine two months ago and it was pretty easy. I can look and see if I stll have any of the old ones. I also replaced all the other bushings while I was in there repairing some accident damage.



Make sure you have the right tools: heavy duty snap-ring pliers and a

suitable press. I used a portable ball-joint tool and an impact drill to drive it. This allows you to do the job without taking the suspension pieces all the way off and saves a little time and effort.



Get the torque specification from the shop manual for putting things back together.



I'm in Silver Spring, and can drop by to help, if you like.



Mark
