final step in replacing front bushings
Tegger's description and pictures are awesome and very enlightening. I
think he tells you almost every thing you need to know with one omission. The final step before tightening the bolts on any replaced bushings is after the nuts are started and snugged up lightly is to set the car down on ramps so the full weight of the car is on the suspension. Then tighten all the bolts to specified torque when the car is in its normal attitude. This prevents overstretching the rubber in the bushings and gives them equal flexibility in the upward and downward travel. If you don't do this then you run the risk of tearing the rubber on hard bumps. |
