Ok, instead of changing my rear upper knuckles bushings that are shot i was going to just swap both rear knuckles that i found a great deal on. They are off of a 95' n/a talon with poly bushings already installed. i still have to check if they are for ABS or not.
I'm not very familiar with the the whole rear hub assembly so my question is...In order to replace the knuckles, does the rear hub just bolt off of the old knuckles and install onto the other ones or is it far more complicated then that?
I don't want to have to deal with pressing bearings or anything that is going to cost me more money than just purchasing the knuckles. If anyone can show me a write up or explain how it's done it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
if you already bought the knuckles, i would just remove the poly bushings from them and install them on your car, that would be a lot less work. If you haven't bought anything yet, take a look at this:
ECLIPSE (95-99) Polyurethane Knuckle Bushings - BLK: eBay Motors (item 360192819312 end time Nov-19-10 13:34:09 PST)
i used to have energy suspension bushings but they kept getting cut somehow, so another member recommended prothane bushings and that's what i have now. so far, they have last more than the ES bushings. :thumb:
