Re: Trailing Arm Bushing Replacement
I just did this yesterday. I was installing a drop kit so the springs were pulled as well, but I used the drill method around the rubber. Then I tapped the sleeve out with a thin socket. The inner rubber peeled away easy at that point. I used a liberal amount of the supplied grease on the urethane bushings inner, and outer sleeves.the urethane bushings slid into the trailing arms with little more than a rubber mallet and a few hard smacks for me. I also pried the mounts apart a little and coated the sides with lithium grease to make the installation a little easier. The urethane bushings seemed a touch wider than the original rubber, and they really resist being beat into place.
