Can I actually do a radius arm bushing?
95 2wd 5.0
I got my wheel bearings done at a shop and we talked about replacing the bushings. He said "damn, those are hard to do if you've never done them, we charge 3 hours labor for it!" But....I've been watching this guy's video. Same year (maybe his is a 94) but same http://tinyurl.com/qjewhuv All he did was remove shocks, remove sway bar link remove coil, and then he kinda just "shifted" the ibeam forward. Not hard a all. Some people are telling me I need a strap and a sturdy tree to pull that beam. So I'm having anxiety if I can actually do this or not. Anyone else replace this bushing in same year or similar? And was it like in the video where the kid just pulled that ibeam forward? |
That'll work. Or you can remove the bracket. It's originally riveted on, but it's common practice to grind off/ punch out the rivets and replace them with grade 8 bolts. Then you don't have to remove the spring/shock sway bar etc.
Brackets quite often get replaced because they have rusted. You may even find that it's already been done and then you just undo the bolts and take the bracket off. |
