If you mean the rear bushings, then you may need to use a press, like a ball joint press.

MAY need a press? You WILL need a press. Those buggers are made to fit tighter than a virgin.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

i got it. those stock ones are tough to get out. and i used a table vice to press them in. made a jig so they could be pressed in the right way.

you use the grease for a reason... it stops them from making noise. make sure you greased the hell out of them befor you put the control arm back in or it will make noise after a while

when your putting the larger one in remember to knock of the steel piece, if it still wont go in use a press and some screwdrivers to make it go in straight, 3 or 4 people for this helps, i just put mine in today

DO NOT forget the grease!!! they will wear out much quicker without the grease and like someone said before they will make noise if u put them in dry.
