CGCWO Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Replacing the upper front control arm bushings. Does anyone have a trick, homemade or special tool to set the bushings in the axle housing? Not enough room for a deadblow hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howeitsdone Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 This is what I used to remove and install. A Ball joint press. But I also had my axle out as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7CO50E?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmecham Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I just got mine replaced today with a sledgehammer but my axle was also out from underneath the truck. I'll second what these other guys have said, maybe rent a bushing install/removal tool from your local autozone if you don't want to buy one yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
