73-87 A Arm bushing replacement

[fishingjred73]

Hopefully this will be useful to someone. I forgot to take pics of the bushing removal but, I got them out basically the same way as I put them in. This is by no the means the only way or neccesarily the right way but, I used what I had and it worked for me.

The 1st picture just shows the shaft and the upper A-arm.


Here you can see the bushing in place ready to be driven in up to the raised area.


I then used a piece of 2" pipe to drive the bushing in


Once you have one bushing in you have to slide the shaft all the way through the arm into the 1st bushing.


Then I used a piece out of my ball joint press kit to support the arm with the shaft in it while I drove the last bushing in.


If you have access to a press you could press both bushings in at the same time, just don't forget to have the shaft in place.
