Re: Where to Get Urethane Bushings? Posted by DougM [Email] (#211) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DougM) on Wed, 27 Dec 2006 20:34:13 In Reply to: Where to Get Urethane Bushings?, Roger (NAWC), Wed, 27 Dec 2006 20:18:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
No special tool needed to disconnect the tie rod end from the spindle. Just remove the nut, then smack the spindle where the stud goes thru with a ball peen hammer. One good whack, or two will make it pop right out. Just be careful not to smack the threads on the stud.
Urethane sealer they use to glue new car windshields in place would most likely be the stuff to get(but I'm not an expert) < about $20 a tube. There are websites that explain how to make molds and such, but you would need a good original part to make the mold. I'm thinking I have the only "new" rack driver side D-rubber in the country, but haven't researched into getting it reproduced just yet < and both of my 99's need once, hence my slowness on using it on only one of the cars before getting another made. I've found the passenger side rubbers on ebay, and have seen them come up only twice in the past 4-5 years, so they are quite rare too.
