Rear Poly Bushing Question - see picture

[tdk930]

All,

I bought this kit from Energy Suspension to do the rear bushing on my car in Poly. I understand what the 4 on the right are for, they are on the rear control arm. What are the 2 round ones for? Are they for the rear diff bracket?

Your assumption is correct. Rear diff bracket.

Are they for the rear diff bracket?

Todd

Yes.

You'll need some grease and a press to get them in.

[tdk930]

Thx. They came with grease and Plan to use it. The ones in the car were not solid.

Or a vise. That's what I used.

I found a large socket, can't remember what size (30mm?), to drive the old ones out of the bracket. Another method is to cut out the soft inner portion, and then with a pointed chisel, knock a crease in the metal ring that was pressed in. At that point, you can pull it out with pliers or a channel lock.

I agree with creasing the metal ring method. My set of poly diff hanger bushings just did not want to go in, so I trimmed a bit (not much) off the outer lip of the bushing so I could press them in.
