In this 20-minute instructional video, Kent will show you the steps on how you can replace the "hidden bushing" in the rear control arm by yourself without having to take the control arm off the car. This will require a special press tool which we make here in our shop and is included in our complete bushing replacement kit.

Please note: The video DOES NOT cover all the procedures to drop the control arm. The video starts with the control arm loose from the knuckle and only demonstrates how to remove the old bushing from the control arm and install the new one. The rest is just "nuts and bolts."

I call this the hidden and forgotten bushing. Why? Because you can not see it to inspect it, it hardly ever gets changed. When these bushings wear out you will feel "weird" movement in your rear end, especially going over rough ground.
