This Install shows the Lower Control Arm-Front bushing available through SuperPro®
Part Number's #SPF0952-90K (90 duro *sports*) & #SPF0952-80K (80 duro *comfort*)
These are easily installed by greasing & pressing in with your hands or a bench vice.
I highly Reccomend the harder 90 duro *sports* for applications such as autox, hard daily driving or any other sort of significant abuse.
For those looking to simply replace your existing/worn out rubber bushings with something more stable i reccomend the softer 80 duro *comfort* application.
a simple bench vice works wonders to remove these front bushings, minor finaggling can be required to push the bushings out.
If you do not have a piece of tube roughly the size of the inner sleeve, i reccomend a deepwell socket .
In order to press the factory bushings out you must back the LCA behind the lip of the factory bushing on the metal, but not blocking the bushing from removal. & wedge a piece of tube/socket toching the back-side of the bushing sleeve as shown
For Those with poly bushings currently you must pound the inner tube free from the bushing before pressing/prying the bushing itself out of the bracket.
For this i reused an old tube sleeve from another application.
After removing the old bushings find a file or abrasive stone to sand or file away any rust build up that may negatively effect bushing life.
Make sure to always regrease all metal to bushing contact area's
The new poly bushings can either be press fit by hand or reinstalled with a bench vice your choice of ease.
Once installed proceed to ReFit onto your Lower Control Arms & install in reverse order of removal from the car.
& now for pictures.
