You should start by taking out the
Control Arm Bushing by using bushing remover tools 8682-2 (receiver, adapter and driver) and removing the threaded rod and two bearings. Initially, take away the crossmember, place it in a vise and use widely lubricated force on the moveable parts for longer use and correct tool performance. After installing the special tools 8838 threaded rod, 8835-1, 8835-4 and 8835-3, press out the sway bar bushing. HD bushings for 2WD models cannot be removed and need to be changed as a set with the outer arm. Take out the lower control arm and place it in a vise, applying lots of pressure lubricant. For the large bushing, fill your order with tools 8836-2 (receiver), 8836-4 (spacer) and 8836-5 (driver), threaded rod 8839 and a bearing. The small bearing uses 8836-6 (the driver), 8836-3 (the spacer) and 8836-2 (the receiver), along with threaded rod 8839 and a bearing. Make sure to fit the new bushing into the crossmember using tools 8835-2, 8835-4 and 8835-3, along with bearing and threaded rod 8838 for proper alignment during installation. After taking the crossmember from the vise, put it back in and reset the car's height along with a wheel alignment. When installing lower control arm bushings, should you use the large bushing, install it with tools 8836-2 for the driver, 8836-1 for the receiver, along with a spacer, a bearing and threaded rod 8839. When everything looks correct, remove the control arm from the vise, reinstall it, reset the vehicle height and wheel alignment is required.
