Mine are just the plain rubber bushings. I looked into the poly bushings, but once I read this thread I changed my mind.

 

Thanks for the tip about the different thicknesses of the bushings. By the way, they look like they are poly urethane, are they, or are they rubber?

 

Just plain rubber.

 

Great Video, you should be a teacher,thanks for the effort and time.

I notice that you wear a pretty nice watch when you work on the car,how do you keep it nice?

Again thanks for all your time in making the video.

 

I have about 25 watches. The one I was wearing in the bushing videos is pretty much bullet-proof. It's waterproof to something like 12000 feet. It has a crystal that can't be scratched by anything except diamonds. The bezel is made of some type of ceramic that's virtually scratch proof. It weighs about half a pound (seriously) . I'm not worried about damaging it.

I don't remember what I was wearing in the other videos, but I'll have to make sure I wear something different in future videos! Gotta show off the collection. I didn't think anyone would notice in a grainy YouTube video. Watches are my hobby. I work on them, too.

 

Nice to see you're too a watch enthusiast
Corum rules :

 

LOL! I don't have any Corums. I like Omegas. I have a blue Seamaster Professional Chrono, an Orange Planet Ocean, and Moonie. I like Breitling's, too. I have my pilot's license, and Breitling is know for their pilot's watches.

 

Finally watched your videos Rev, you make all your repairs seem easy. This definitely looks like something anyone can do themselves, with a big vice of course. The c-lamps I don't think would cut the mustard.

I had my bushings replaced by an indy shop, but I am going to take off my fronts to make sure that upper wishbone isn't moving. If it is, I know what to do.

Now, the lower ones on the control arm...I hear they are a bee-otch. I got under my car last weekend, and guess what...one of the supposed 'new' bushings is torn on the lower front control arm.

Good luck, looking forward to Phase 2!

 

The lower bushings are definitely going to be more difficult. The JTIS says you need a press to remove the old ones and install the new ones. The JTIS also says that the bushings on the back of the lower wishbone are different than the ones on the front. However the four that I received are all identical. Now I'm trying to decide if I even want to try installing the aftermarket bushings that I received. I'm definitely not happy with the upper bushings.

 

Thanks for this! I'm going to order the front suspension kit, dealer recommended I change the ball joints some time ago, this is really helpful.
