Transverse Spring Bushing Install. How?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Like it says.. how do you install the rubber bushings in the rear transverse spring on a '94 GP? I need to have them installed by Thursday. A guy is interested in buying my car, so I need it fixed ASAP.

So yeah, how do these go in? And where? How? I know nothing about it, obviously. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks! But ARRGHHH!!! Wow thats way more complicated than what I have time/tools/space for.

I thought someone had said I could just pound the bastards in there with a hammer?

Yeah thats the bushings I have.. I got them from work.. simply called rear transverse spring bushing. I just want a simple fix so I can sell the car. The dealership quoted me a price of $620 to have it fixed. :shock:

I need something quick, simple, and inexpensive.

its its just the busings you need replacing, grab a 10 in c clamp, jack the rear of the car up, compress the springs with the clamp, then pound the new bushings in with a rubber hammer. do the other side, your done!!

I can compress that leaf-type spring? Doesn't look like there is anywhere for it to go but out of the car..

I'll check 'er out tonite when I'm at work. Thanks!!

compress it at the bottom of the spring, and at the top of the strut housing

use wooden blocks on the spring!!
