Removal - Lower Suspension Arm Bushing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the lower suspension arm (Refer to SUSPENSION/REAR/LOWER CONTROL ARM - REMOVAL) .
Secure the suspension arm in a vise.
NOTE: Extreme pressure lubrication must be used on the threaded portions of the tool. This will increase the longevity of the tool and insure proper operation during the removal and installation process.

Install special tools 8862-4 (receiver), 8862-5 (spacer) and 8862-1 or 8862- 2 (driver) with the threaded rod 8839 and the bearing as shown. See Fig 1
