suspension issue...

[Adragontattoo]

Ok 94 Mazda Navajo, basically stock height (only change is 235x75 r15 tires)

On either side of the front axle is the wheel obviously, there is a bar on either side going from the axle back to the frame that keeps the axle from moving forward and backward. The end of the bar that connects to the frame has a bushing on it that cushions the bar and prevents metal to metal contact (appears it may be the trailing arm???).

is it possible to do this in a home garage without an air compressor and basic tools?

Any info and tips to get this done with out me having to take it to my old repair shop and get them to do it??

The Part in question is a Radius arm. It braces the front TTB against the frame and utilizing a Radius arm Bushing to absorb any impact... The topic of replacement has been discussed in various threads. Further info can be found in the maint link in my sig.. Obviously it is subjective when discussing the ease in which the job can be done. To some it is a 2 hr job, to others it is impossible and thus goes into the shop. IMO you will need more than just basic tools to complete the job. It took me an entire weekend to do and I have many tools including air.

What are you exactly asking? I don't see a single question other than "is it possible to do this in a home garage..."

I think he is wanting to change the radius arm bushing.

Thank you all for the help you gave, I am taking it over to my old shop tomorrow to get fixed. To answer the question of what I am looking for, What is the bushings I need to replace and how easy/or not is it to do?
