I have 2 set of the poly bushings that are installed on the *axle end* of the factory UCAs.



Requires you to cut/press out the old bushing from the housing and install these in place.



Asking $20 per set. Each set has a driver & passenger side .... so obviously there is enough for 2 people to buy.



Parts are in Blakeslee, PA. Willing to ship at buyer's expense. Or you can pick them up here.




Thanks for looking.

They are Tomken Machine bushings that I never used. Give me your email addresses and I will send you some pictures tomorrow.



The frame and axle end are actually the same bushing with the exception of an extra support sleeve (that goes between the axle end and the UCA). It acts as a "wedge" if you will.



It's been a while ... but I think you just cut out the rubber (hole saw works for that) and then just remove any remainder with a propane torch. Then just lube and press in the new bushing with a propane torch. Replacing with OE bushings requires removal of the sleeve in addition to the rubber material. So in some regards ... it's easier to replace. But the smell of rubber is just delicious.



Been a busy weekend and no chance to respond ... my apologies.

Yes I was going to do all new rubber bushings but after the 35 tons of pressure and heat I had to put on the control arms I figured their is no way I could put the axle in the press so now i am looking at poly.
