trailing arm bushes

**long stroke** · 22nd October 2009, 09:40 PM

If you are talking about the bushes on the axle end of the trailing/radious arms, we just replaced the 4 on the front radious arms without a press, just bashed them out with a sledge hammer and gently tapped the new ones in with a normal hammer and a socket that fitted over them nicely

Dad made up a little puller for the rear trailing arm ones....

The bushes look the goods

CHEERS TIM.

P.s congrats on the 1000 posts!!

big hammers + little hammers = broken and bruised fingers I am afraid

I have a GREAT mate with a press, so its the easiest and safest (for my fingers) way to get them in

those arent too bad, I will just be replacing them so they have all been done around the same time and eliminates the possibility of failure any time soon.

cheers

The current ones are flogged out due to the pressure on them with the lift and I saw that LRA sell an angled bush.

What lift are you running?

I have just put 2 washers on the top bolt spacing the top of the bush out lining the bush up perfectly for a two inch lift.

Where did you guys get these bushes from and are there any places that sell good kits for all of the suspension and steering bushes and which is the best kit?

Just going to do a 2"suspension lift on mine and some bfg all terrains, nothing over the top, but might do them to cover for a rwc i'll need to register the vehicle (unregistered and already has 2" suspension lift on the rear for towing by previous owner).

Thanks.
