Thank you.
I removed the upper arms to change the bushings.
But the manual say I need a special tool to remove the bushings with the shaft in place.
I can figure out how it works but can we buy this tool or do any of you have a homemade tool to show so we can make it from tubes here?
As for the ball joints, from what you can see on my pictures, do I need to replace them?
I did not planned to do it but I fear I might be forced to do it...
As for the lower arms, the manual say to remove the bolts and then remove the arm.
No way. The arm is still locked in place by metal parts (threaded for the bolts) that go through the bushings.
I tried to hammer them out but they seem to be welded on the frame.
Any suggestion?
Also I would appreciate if anyone could share thoughts on questions 1. 2. 3. 4. below
