For 8.8" Mustang Rear Axle

The Rear Upper Control Arm Bushing Tool makes it much easier to change the rear control arm bushings at the differential. The bushings are a press fit in the differential housing, and are difficult to access. They are especially difficult to change if you are trying to do so without removing the rear axle assembly from your car. MM's unique tool makes this tough job much easier and faster. Zinc plated finish.

^^^^^nice kit........or you could get some thread rod and use large sockets and washers on the cheap if ya got'em and do it that way and use an air hammer to drive the old ones out.....but the kit sure would be my first choice if I were doing it in my backyard

did the job and it wasn't that difficult just use a air hammer to push out the bushing and rubber mallet to place back into the sleeve. load the suspension and tighten the bolts
