#24024, "About rear bushings"


          

My bushings on both sides of the rear of my car directly above the tire and connect to the upper a arm are torn. This allows the arm that connects the rear hub assembly and the upper a arm together to slide back and forth when I brake. I tried to get just the bushing from the dealer but they only sell the whole arm (the one that connects the hub to the upper a arm) for $88.00. I found these bushings on ebay are these the ones I'm looking for? If so are there ones priced better or at least get the urethane bushings for the whole car for a little bit more? Or should I just buy the arms from the dealer?

Again thanks in advance

The reason they sell the whole arm is because the bushing is pressed in, and a HUGE pain in the ass to remove.

That ebay set sounds like the right thing, but I can't tell from the pictures. emoji

Personally, I just dropped the $90 for the entire rear-end Energy Suspension bushing kit from RRE. Someday I'll press them all in. Someday.

thedawg is right, the stock bushings are pressed in and they are a bitch and a half to remove. I would say get the complete rear bushing set like the dawg said as well. If you plan on doing this yourself i hope you have access to a hydraulic press.

all i have been doing for the bushings is bending the metel lip up and hitting them out with a sledge hammer. Of course i went out and got a punc that was the right size...it takes a few wacks but its not too bad.
The easier way would be to go to a shop...but i am a cheap bastard.
