Title: Front and Rear Suspension Bush Replacement, how easy?
Post by: chrisJDM on February 02, 2008, 10:25:21 PM
Ive had a set of front and rear suspension bushes sat here for ages and really should have a go at fitting, ive read several threads on how to fit but how easy is it?? ive taken the suspension apart before and fitted coilovers so that is not a problem, the bit i am worrying about is getting out the old bushes, are they easy to press out? can anyone recommend any tools for the job?? any one done it and got some hints and tips?

here is the kit i have, im just interested in doing the suspension ones at mo

cool looks good, what i might do is take the suspension apart and take the parts to a mechanic i know and he may be able to press the old bushes out so i can put in the new ones :D
