I know this has been posted a few times so please bear with me. My son's Navajo just lost the drivers side bushing. The last chunk just fell out. I read the post on replacing the bushings by removing the rivets holding on the arm brackets.
On his truck, the brackets have already been removed once before by the PO. The brackets already have bolts instead of rivets. So if I understand the posts correctly, all I should have to do is 1) remove the bolts, 2) drop the brackets (both sides) and then 3) remove the large nut to replace the bushings.
Is there anything else I need to do? What about getting the radius arm back in the bracket? How hard is it to align the arm in the hole and compress the bushings enough to put on the nut?
Thanks for any help!
