Control Arm Bushing: Service and Repair
Installation
LOWER CONTROL ARM PIVOT BUSHING
NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the full weight of the vehicle at normal ride height. It
is important to have the springs supporting the full weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride
position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
NOTE: Extreme pressure lubrication must be used on the threaded portions of the tool. This will increase the longevity of the tool and insure
proper operation during the removal and installation process.
1. Install the new lower control arm bushings (3) into the lower control arm (4) using tools C-4212F (Press) (1), 9603-1 (driver) (2) and 9969-1
(receiver) (5) making sure the receiver cup is properly centered for the bushing to be pressed in to the proper depth.
2. Remove the control arm from the vise.
3. Install the lower control arm See: Service and Repair/Front Lower Control Arm - Installation.
4. Perform a wheel alignment See: Alignment/Service and Repair.
