upper shock bushing installation
was in the process of replacing sticky front calipers and renewing shock inserts- right side went without a hitch- shock insert on left side, however, had welded itself to upper bushing- only alternative was to pry out the insert from below, which brought bushing with it- have completed my brake work and have installed new shock insert but cant seem to find any way to coax/push/force bushing back into mounting plate- do I need to remove mounting plate and have bushing pressed??
 figure I will need to replace bushing since rubber is freeing itself from steel center- next question will obviously be how to get the bushing out of the right side when I go to re-do that one?- thanks guys |

the bushing I linked is split, so you don't have to try to force it back in place like the old one..

ER also has solution/s depending on what you want for suspension. I watched a replacement video and the solution for removal was to cut the camber plate bushing flange...so I cant imagine install can be done without a special press....
