Two jaw puller with washers on the end (just bit smaller than the bushing) push the old ones out the knuckle and pop the new ones in. Should only take few hours of taking you time and working at it ( easy enough job)

IMHO chassis brace not needed unless peeps have found it useful for road course...don't see a need for the 1/4 and I don't have wheel hop...good luck

Suspension was one primary focus on this ride. Did my research. The '10 suspension is mediocre at best - stock. I had to do something. Glad I did. Much improved. |
