I sat in my room last Friday and started installing the new powerflex urethane suspension bushings and pillow ball bushings for the rear control arms.
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2234.jpg The urethane bushings were fairly easy to install. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2236.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2238.jpg The pillow ball bushings on the other hand were a little more work to get in. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2240.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2243.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2245.jpg |
This week I installed the powerflex bushings for the front arms along with some new ball joint boot covers.
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2255.jpg Took off the old boot covers and wiped off the old grease. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2257.jpg Applied fresh grease on the ball joints and packed the new covers. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2259.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2261.jpg All the control arms completed except for the toe link which are still out for powder coating. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...7/IMG_2265.jpg |
Yesterday I went over to my cousin again to soda blast some more parts and today I picked up my toe links, diff brace, and diff mount from powder coating.

^ Looks great, good luck with your build.

The grease is supposed to go on the inner metal spacer. The grease is not supposed to go on the outer part of the bushing, it is not designed to turn when the suspension compresses. The inner bushing is supposed to turn.
Thanks. |
