Lower Control Arm Bushing Housing Surface Damage?
TalonA replied to TalonA's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
That's about what I figured, thank you for the confirmation. Yes, Pasco. I've gone through and heated the rubber and gotten the inner sleeve and rubber out for a front and rear LCA-that part was fairly easy. The outer sleeve is what's been giving me issues. Unfortunately, I chewed up the edges a little with the hacksaw on one of the rear bushing housings. -
I've gone through several websites and forums for removing the LCA inner and outer bushings. With this, they all recommend caution when using the hacksaw to make the two cuts through the outer bushing (so you don't damage the actual housing surface). They don't provide reasoning as to why, however. Is a little surface damage par for the course? What're your experiences?
