rear knuckle

[morelock]

the top bushing on the driver side rear knuckle on my car is completely fd up im wandering if you can just replace the bushing or if you have to replace the whole thing it was 330 from Mitsubishi and i haven't seem any where else that sells the knuckle any cheaper a replacement bushing any advice

Pm me when someone gives you a good answer please. I have the same problem. The bolt is stuck in the bushing and spins when trying to loosen it. =\

ahh that sucks is there any way you can tap it out and get a new bolt or pry it

You can replace the bushing, I replaced mine with a poly one. Mine also was bad.

wear did you get them at i will probably just replace both of them at the same time did you have to have them pressed in or have the old ones pressed out how did that work please and thanks for the info sick of hearing that thing pop and wobble every time i hit a bump

You will have to press the old ones out, the kit I bought replace almost all the bushings. Pressing the poly ones in with out damaging them isnt fun. I would check with the vendors on here if they have it or ebay. The part number for the Energy Suspension is 5.18107g, part number for just those bushings is Rear end control arm bushing set 5.3119

so i should take them to a shop and have them do it or how difficult is it to get them in without damaging them and thanks a lot for the help i really appreciate it

does the kit have them labeled to itch one go where? just trying to get as much info on the kit as i can i found the kit for 135 does that sound about right?

Depending on what you have on hand to press them in makes a difference, plus grease. You should be able to press them in yourself. I used a little balljoint press and a tie rod puller. Not the best setup but it worked.

I assume no responsibilty if you try this...

When I was in a pinch with another project (not a bushing) I used a jack to jack up the car, with the part in between. Obviously this is dangerous as it can slip out and hurt you but it worked for me.

 

[dsmpat95]

The best way would be to use a Arbor press.
