Wow! I think buying new arms is the way to he here!

that's a lot of work for control arm bushings. I like how the bolts just lined up after installing the lca.. when I did my lift I had to use ratchet straps to compress the spring enough to get those ball joint bolts to line up.. it was a major pain.

Don't forget your carbide blades! Normal thick metal blades will burn out quick. These blades will save you so much time the cam bolts are grade 10!

Thank you for the video. Does your cam bolts with part #25440 work for a 2019 4Runner?

I just had my rack and pinoin mount bushings replaces lower control arm bushkit replaced castor/cam adj kit both sway bar link kits replaced. Bellow/boot kit. Outer tire rod end In tie rod end. Plus 4 wheel thrust angle alignment, adjusted castor and toe as needed before & after settings. X Rotation on tires. It was on the 2001 Toyota Tacoma TRD crew cab. It was all original. I asked him to check out front bushings as I've heard that they have been problematic. For a 21 year old truck all ive had done was regular maintenance oil changes and tire changes. Added a TRD supercharger in it 13 years ago. It's paid off & never plan to selling it. Just 725 $ /855$ labor. 115 taxes totalling 1, 687$ . A shop that I trust. Could have snapped & dropped down to the fender and doors. Whew drives great now. I'm glad I decided to ask him to check it out ! I'm good for another 200k miles or more. I couldn't have done it myself after seeing this .Drives so good 👍

Where can I get the upper and lower arm bushings kit from.

This is entirely too much work to remove the bushings…you can press them out with a ball joint press.

AMIGO soy de Colombia mi trabajo es parecido cambio de bujes y rodamientos, pero discúlpame la manera en la que cambias los bujes de esta tijera, no es la mejor aporreas mucho el ojo con esas herramientas, es mas facil quitar el anillo superior con pulidora, luego vas ala prensa y sacas el buje interior, luego vas ala prensa de banco amarras bien la tijera y sacas los bujes con un cincel pequeño de acero, con un martillo y con cuidado, así aporreas menos la tijera, yo me demoro 15 minutos cambiando los cuatro bujes me gano cerca de 50 dolares claro que es en Colombia, aca hay demasiadas Toyota

You could of just used the air hammer from the start done it multiple times

Helping a friend replace his lower control arm bushings on a 02 Tacoma. We were able to press out the bushings but the metal sleeves did not come out with them and are stuck inside the lower control arms. We have followed the directions on here by cutting them in half and using air hammer and it not getting them out any other ideas?

Very nice thanks for the idea.... ✌️✌️✌️

Where could I source a camber bolt sleeve? I have the bolt still, but am struggling to find a sleeve to go inside the new bushing.

If you live in snow, give your under carrage after each drive or at the end of the day, that will remove the salt that eats your under carrage .

Which brand name of bushing u recommend for replacement

[mridware]

I will take this lower control arm to the torner shop he will do all bushing in $ 10

[misternaem]

[stackinchedda]

I was wondering i had got the rears trailing arms?? Replaced on my 2001 Toyota Avalon XL..& the new arms or old arms does not have the adjustment bolt..on them.
Would I need a alignment afterwards??

[monalisabrown]

Question what is that plastic part that go over the bolt?

[Gunnl]

why don't you use a bushing press kit to remove the oem bushing ?! why did you had to saw, drill it and cut it !?

[ludopata]

friend and excuse me but note that the position of the large bushing is wrong, the large one equalizes Asia on the sides, so they will be damaged quickly, and the small Asia above and below of course, in the small ones sometimes they do not have a position, sorry
