Does anyone have an idea of how big of a job it is to replace the Rear Trailing Arm Bushings on 95 850 wagon?

Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ.

It was very easy to do for me .I don't know your abilities but if you look it up on here and follow the directions it's really easy.I did mine in 3 to 3.5 hrs and I think if I was to do it again I could do it in 2.The hardest part for me was getting the old one out.I would make a puller for it next time out of some 1" square tubing and some theaded rod then that sucker would come out in minutes .Just research on here it's a great teacher you will be ok!
