Do I need a special tool to remove/install a bushing on the rear upper control arm? I was under there changing the diff oil and noticed that the bushing that connects the rear upper control arm to the rear sway bar has warn through to the metal.

Any idea for a good place to pick one up?


Polyurethane vs Solid???

Here are some good instructions from Baseline Suspensions on bushing removal. Not sure what you mean by the upper control arm connecting to the sway bar, they don't bolt up together.

Sorry, it's the lower control arm.

The bushings are pressed into the stock lower control arms., if the control itself has damage just replace the whole thing, a factory replacement isn't expensive.

I should have just taken a pic in the first place...
I was messing around with it and there is no bushing there. I was looking at the washer in bad light. The reason there is slop from that bolt is when the guy installed the control arms he stripped the hell out of it and the nut is barely on.

Thanks guys.

All you need is a new speed nut and a new bolt, thats all that is
