radius arm bushings

[Dan Smithwick]

Well I finally decided to change the radius arm bushings on my 94 . Really
not as bad as I had anticipated . I went with drilling out the rivets . The bushing on the drivers side was shot so a straight forward replacment . I was
surprised on the passenger side , once I got the bracket off the bushing
just fell apart . I am going to have to replace the bracket as well . The bushing hole is very egg shaped with a good size crack in the top of the hole .
I think this has been one of my problems for some time . I will be finishing it up tomorrow .
Just wanted to share this with those of you who maybe having a shimmy
and slight clunking sound .

Hey could you tell me your process at replacing the RA brackets? What tools did you need?

Thanks!

Mine was egg shaped on the passenger side.. I cut it out and made a bushing, welded it in..... IMO Its now better than it was stock.. I was almost tempted to tear the drivers side back down and do it the same way
