[6pack] Trailing Arm Bushings

[Foster, Stan]

Stuart, this is a very doable project. It is prone to pretty bad shipwrights
disease (rust, hubs, brakes, brake pipes and hoses etc) but it is an
opportunity to fix or refresh a lot of stuff with minimal stress other than
helicoiling the TA's :-)

Also an opportunity to consider goodparts brackets and bushes.

I found this tip from Vance very useful for hassle free rubber bushing
extraction.

Fellow List Mates:

I have decided to tackle the job of replacing my trailing arm bushings by
myself.
It looks fairly simple to do but I am not a mechanic and have limited work
space
& tools. Is there anything I should know about before attempting this on my
own?
Or, should I just take it to the foreign car guy and let him rip me a new
one?
