INSTALLING NEW UPPER TRAILING ARMS

10. The new polyurethane can bushings come pre-assembled, but it is easier to install the new can bushing

with the polyurethane bushing out of the metal can. So, the bushing will have to be pressed out.

- First, set the bushing (flange down) in a vise. See picture. Notice the flange sits on top of the vise. It

is not compressed in the vise.

- Using a dead blow hammer, smack the bushing downward until the bushing is level with the metal

edge.

- Grab a large deep socket and use it as a punch to hammer the rest of the bushing out.
