Re: Upper Control Arm Bushing
Thanks all. Took about 20 minutes to drill, grease and re-install. For my bushing, it was a 2 piece design. It had the bushing that replaced the one I drilled out, but it also had a donut that slid over it. The stock piece had no such piece. I assumed, and mostly likely assumed wrong, lol, that the piece slid over the bushing on the "front side" of the bushing if looking at it from the rear to disperse the load across the upper control arm and bushing. Would this be correct? It went together great. Greased and everything. Need to get a grease gun for the other end, but I am waiting for my lincoln 175 amp mig welder to show up before I finish installing so I can weld the torque boxes while I still have them out. Should be here most likely next week, they said they shipped welder today from florida.
