Bushing Replacement
- With control arm upside down on work bench, position Spacer (J-22222-5
or J-33793-5
), depending on size of bushing. Position Receiver Tube (J-25317-2
) and Cap (J-29376-7
) on outer side of control arm. Ensure tube is installed so it does not contact bushing flange. Coat threaded portion of Bolt and Bearing (J-21474-19
) with high pressure lubricant. See Fig 1
.
- Install bolt through receiver, cap and bushing. Install remover on bolt at inner side of control arm. Position Remover (J-22222-2
