96 850 How did YOU replace the trailing arm bushings?

Post by RussB »

Like the title says, how do you remove the trailing arm bushings?


I had one done by a mechanic in '06. They used an air hammer do smash it to bits...then they replaced the right side unit with a left side bushing!

Well, my left/driver's side bushing is broke, and I also replaced the right side bushing with a proper one. These things are tough to get out. After breaking both bolts off because they have frozen solid in the aluminum, I used a sawzall to cut off the rest of the bolts off.

Here's one thread showing my delta links debocle and the new right side trailing arm bushing,
