Hao to replace the suspension control arm bushing

Control arm manufacturers teach you hao to replace the suspension control arm bushing.
If you 're having suspension issues with that classic Toyota car, it may be a worn suspension control arm bushing. Suspension bushing replacement is a job you can do at home by following a few simple steps. First, though, let's cover the basics. 

The rear upper and lower suspension control arm on the 1972-1976 Toyota body vehicles not only provide suspension travel but also secure the rear end to the vehicle. Each control arm has two pressed-in bushings, one at each end. The bushing is a metal cylinder with a rubber center and a tubular metal core for the mounting bolt to pass through. 

Replacing these suspension bushings is relatively easy, and you can save a good deal of money doing it yourself at home. A machine shop will use a press to remove the old 
suspension bushings, but there is a simple way to accomplish this task. We used a bottle jack and vise to push the rubber center and core out of the circular housing. If you use a penetrating lubricant on the suspension bushing the night before, it does n't take much pressure to push out the rubber. All four of the arms can be done the same way, but if you do n't plan to remove the rear end, do them one by one and replace the finished arm before removing the next one. This secures the rear assembly with three arms while you restore the one. 

Removing Control Arm. 

Having a floor jack to support the rear end will make the removal of the control arm easier. Using a 3 4-inch wrench and socket set, loosen the nuts on both of the control arm retaining bolts. If your bolts are rusty, soak them with lubricant the night before. Remove the bottom bolt first then access the top bolt through the hole in the frame. Hold the control arm as you remove the top bolt you do n't want this chunk of metal dropping on your foot. It might take a little of prying and wiggling to get the top connection loose from the frame mount.
