Procedures
Front Lower Control Arm Pivot Bushing - Installation4 steps
ℹ NOTE
Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the full weight of the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the full weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
ℹ NOTE
Extreme pressure lubrication must be used on the threaded portions of the tool. This will increase the longevity of the tool and insure proper operation during the removal and installation process.
