I'm installing Daystar polyurethane bushings at both ends of all 4 control arms to my D30 in the front of my '92 XJ I6 auto.
Am I doing a good thing? Any pros/cons?
I've removed the two lower arms. The old rubber bushings were in there really tight. I'm blessed with a 20 ton press so I could get them out but I don't know what I would have done without the press. The upper arms have bushings in the end that goes to the body, but at the opposite end the bushings are in the axle. Of course I can't get the axle under my press. Any advice on getting the axle bushings out?
The arms don't seem to allign exactly with the axle. It looks like I'll have to move the axle from side to side when I install the arms so I can get the bolts thru the holes. Any suggestions how I can jack the axle sideways?
This is turning out to be a lot of work...
Thanks!
