I installed RA Bushings!

[Chew_12]

Hey im just posting this because i am happy because i changed both of the RA bushings bymyself. I drilled the rivelts, which was pretty difficult. That was really the first time i did anything completely bymyself(btw im 19). I normally work with my dad but he has been busy. Yea it took me a while, lets not count hours, but i learned a lot, and it was fun. I also changed my shocks so my supsension should be doing good. So I just have to take my car to get it aligned tomorrow then my car will be good as new. Total cost = Bushings 23$ at Pep Boys, Nuts and Bolts 3.00$, So 26$ for parts and whatever the alignment is going to cost me.

Good for you . Just out of curiosity, did you remember to reinstall a new (unless the old one was still OK) heat shield on the right side RA bushing ?

Wow, good job. I here they are a real PITA to do. Do you notice a differnece now when driving?

Yep I put the heat shield back on. I really didnt noticed a difference other than not hearing a clunking noise. But it also feels better around turns, but that is probably the shocks.

Your better cornering will be a combination of both. The new shocks will help with the "LEAN" and the new RAs will eliminate the front axle "FLOAT/SHIFT" that was probably occuring. That are a slight PITA, depending on what procedures you used. But once you conquer them, you're on your way to wanting to do more because "You can do it".

Happy trails
