I will be installing polyurethane control arm bushings in my 1995 Civic. But first, I must remove the rotted, cracked and deteriorated old ones. I show 2 ways that I did it.
Check out the other work I have done to my EJ1 in the playlist.

Following u. I tried to cut the metal collar then bang it out. Didn't work for me. End up buying Tru harts front LCA. I have a fomoto valve. The jdm one. My valve spontaneous open on it own with hard driving alone. Did not hit anything. I have to tie it done with a metal wire

@@smartauto1166 My valve opening like that would scare me. The new ones have a clip that hold it shut. But before I got the clip I never had an issue with it. But they make the job so much easier

Thanks for the help don’t know if there was an outer race on for the bushing that goes to the subframe. Mine are so risky I couldn’t tell 😅

Interesting video, Maq. I need to be prepared for the future!

Man, I thought it was going to be quicker. I finished one side and hopefully can use the lessons learned for the other. I was hoping to fit it all in one video too. But it would have been too long.

Hoping I don't need to get a press! My Mk1 Leon is sitting waiting for a full bushing change. It always felt wooly compared to other cars I drive and finally failed the MOT last year. I am going for poly bushes too. Look forward to your next update, and the next 300zx video :D

@MaqsVids 2 жыл бұрын

Man!!! I just looked up a MK1 Leon. We don't get them in the states. They are pretty sweet! There usually are ways to avoid getting a press. (I had been wanting one this was a good excuse) Good luck with the bushes.

@@MaqsVids My plan is to get it into the garage after I have finished a couple of jobs on my other car, stick it on 4 stands, drop all the suspension off then work on it at leasure :D that way I can walk away when something gets too frustrating and I wished I had a press.

do u have a video doing the rear control arm bushings?

@MaqsVids 11 ай бұрын

Kind of🫤 I replaced the bushings in my aftermarket rear control arms. But I replaced my rear control arms before I started making videos on KZfaq. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ6SesakvdHPeqc.htmlsi=SZvBghfETJgvHv_1

You needed yellow tank map gas with your torch to burn bushings out much hotter

I'll use that next time. I'm down for anything to make it quicker. And, the best thing about forums and KZfaq is people sharing little tips like that. That's one of the reasons I love this stuff. Thanks!

Hey man! The link below is to one that looks exactly like mine. amzn.to/3UKosoq I am sure I picked mine up at AutoZone, Advance or Harbor Freight a long time ago. A link to the ones at Advance is below. But, none look like mine. advanceautoparts.rt8x.net/3PDXWd
