28169, Rear Upper Knuckle Bushing? Pics
Posted by Clay, Oct-19-05 07:36 PM


The pics were taken from the driver side rear tire area. Would the arrow be pointing to the rear upper knuckle bushing? If it is would i need a press to install a replacement bushing? Thanks

Yeah and its a pain in the ass.

The easiest solution to remove them is to pull the whole knuckle off, burn out the rubber with a torch, and take a hacksaw/sawzall to the inner metal band about 4 times and it'll come out.

To put them back in, you absolutely need a press. I put in prothanes because putting in stock replacements looked even harder. RRE let me use their shop for free, so its worth asking if you dont have a press.

I didn's have a press, I used a bench vice... not too hard, but not that easy at the same time.
