Im about to replace my RA bushings in the next week, which way do you think will be the best way to replace it? Removing the rivlets, or Taking off the Shocks and Springs...etc.

ONLY VOTE if you have replace the RA bushings!
Thanks

TTT Guess not too many people have.
 






cut the rivets out, and replace with bolts, it'll make life a lot easier in the future, I had my front end apart twice this week

I agree. I have removed the rivets on two explorers and it's not that hard to do.
 






YEah go ahead and cut the rivets off, replace with bolts and then things will be easier in the future.
 






is it really hard to do if you never changed them before? my right side radius arm bushing is shot.
 






No, not really hard at all. The rivets can be kind of a pain though.
