How difficult to eliminate rear toe?
i think my rear 'steer' bushings are going out. cuz every time i go over a bump in the road, the rear of the car steps out of line. and i can feel it jerk back into line after i go over the bump.
are these symptoms of Rear toe failing on my car?
if it is going out, im gona replace it w/ the Rear toe eliminator bushings from 'Trix.
anyone ever do this?
how hard is it?
do i need specialty tools (press) to do the job?

The hardest part is pushing the axles out of the hubs. Maintenance manuals tell you to use a two jaw puller. That didn't even come close. I had to make a tool that bolts to the lug bolts and a bottle jack to push mine out. After that the job wasn't too hard. You can use a large vise and a couple pieces of appropriately sized pipe to press the old bushings out and the new ones in.
