Wheeler Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm replacing the outboard control arm bushing with urethane bushings, the stock setup uses two rubber washers in between the spindle nut and bushing. Do I need these with the new bushings? -Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 No, you don't need the washer. If you haven't already gotten the strut onto the control arm again you'll find that the poly bushing is thicker than the stock bushing, so it's damn near impossible to get the strut between the bushings. I used a C clamp on both bushings, stuck the strut in between, and hammered the bottom of the strut to force it in between the bushings and at the same time it was pushing the clamps off. It was a real PITA. Grease is your friend on this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
