Hi there. here's my suggestion. Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Control Arm/A-Fram Bushing procedure?, vsfoxe ![]() |
,If you are going to take the springs out, make sure you break the nut and bolt holding the spring seat to the UCA before you start unbolting the UCA from the car body inside the engine bay.
here's a suggestion if you want to leave (or cant get it out of the car) the UCA in the car and change the bushings - sometimes the bushings wont come off the UCA very easily and becuase of the lack of working space, it seems impossible. well, dont try and slide them off the UCA until you have twisted the hell out of them. By rotating the bushing around and around (as much as you can given the tight working space), you can work them loose, then slide them off the UCA.
the other tip is you will need 12 mm nyloc nuts to reattach the LCA's to the car.
have you already pressed the bushings into spare mounts ready to slap on, or is that to be done after the UCA + LCa are out of the car? if the latter i've got some suggestions there and you can email me Vern.
