Poly Suspension Upgrade (all pics) (Page 10/16)

The front lower arm pivot bushings are non-collinear by design. I don't know the reason for it being that way, but it's normal.

The bushing kits come with new inner sleeves.

Dang, my thread rises from the dead...
The bushings came with new inner sleaves.

I just wanted to post that the seller ilikeike1 is who I used on eBay to get my bushings the first time and have used him everytime since. He has been fast to ship and I have never had any issues with him. I have also purchased dogbone bushings and cradle bushings from him.

How much different is this process from an 88. I want to replace all my brushing this winter mine are cracked up.

Got through it, but the darn front lower control arms are a beast... the bushing were really in there. I tried to drill them... burning I think is the ticket! Also, it does not show here, I can back for referance... the front most bolt on the front LCA... is it supposed to be oriented with the nut to the rear of the car. I had a bear of a time pulling the bolt out from under the steering rack boot. It was hitting horribly... Did anyone else have this issue?
