replace bushings help???

[el_tigre]

Hi guys im planning to change my front lower control arms and tie rod bushings but i see on internet but i don't know which one you can tell me which one is better?

Thanks for you help?

Not sure what you are asking. But you need to replace all of them if they are bad.

Yeah, replace the bad ones. For your setup I would just get oem bushings rather than poly. But who knows..

 

[el_tigre]

Yeah just the bad on is on my front lower control arms and the ball joint and tie rod

How much u paid for those?

To replace the lower ball joint you have to remove the steering knuckle and take it to a shop. You can't replace the upper ball joint, FYI, you have to replace the upper control arm. For the trailing arm bushing you need to replace the whole trailing arm (I believe that's what I read). Also, if you are replacing the bushings in the LCA you should also remove the LCA and take to a shop with a press, make it 10x easier on you. If there are other ways to do it I'm sure someone will chime in.

I know a shop is a easy way,but I want try to do my self,I start first with front lower control arm,I ready have the blackworks upper control arms and them I start with trailing arm

That's incorrect about the rear trailing arm bushings. They can be replaced.

Opps, sorry, I meant the end tie rod in the front.

 

[dlo253]

No worries man.

U have any pic I confuse ???? Please

13/16 is connected to the tie rod in the front:



20/21 is the trailing arm in the rear:



This doesn't apply to your original question though. I made a mistake when I said trailing arm instead of tie rod.

 

[el_tigre]

Yeah that one too I can buy the hole part or just buy the bushing the bushing is like 8 bucks and the hole part is like 25 what u recomended
