Upper Torque arm bushing, but the SMALL ONE!

Post by TSWisla »

Should the small bushing that attaches to the firewall be replaced also? Is there a trick to doing this one too? Thank you in advance!

It usually outlasts the one on the motor by about 4 to 1. If you have high mileage on your car you might want to inspect it for cracks with a flashlight. The center bolt that attaches from the bottom has a thread lock paint on it and is hard to loosen. It should have some Loc-Tite on the threads when it is relpaced.
