He people, I was wondering whats involved in replecing the Z-Bar bushes in my VR, some may know them as "Radious Rod Arm" bushes. They travel from a fixed point at the front with big rubber bushes and travel through the lower control arm. Those are the ones I wish to replace. The ones in the lower control arm.
I had an inspection of them this afternoon and they look a bit worn.
Q. Do you have to drop the whole lower control arm or can I get away with undoing the linkpins ( swaybar ) stuff and pop the bottom ball joint? That sounds easier typed than done or is there an easy way of getting around it?
Anyhow just wondering how involved it would be? I am wondering if they are pressed fit too. Maybe a grab the bushes from autobarn.
