I bought a set of bushings for my front end and so far so good. I pulled the radius arms off and will bring them to the shop tomorrow to press out the old bushings and in with the new. I also will swap out the radius rod bushings closest to the hub. These are a piece of cake.
The tough nut (literally) I am dealing with is the control arm bushing. The end under the shock was easy, but the opposite end with the bushing is a BEAR. I already broke one socket using my foot trying to force it off. I can't get an impact wrench in there and my next attempt will be a heavy duty spanner wrench.
Just to be sure, with 200,000 miles, is it safe to think this bushing is worn, or should I just not bother now?
Thanks, Jamie
