I'm looking to change the bushings out in my control arms and I have never done this before can someone give me some pointers on how to go about changing the bushing and also what would be a good bushing to use

 

Currie makes some JJ's for the D30, if you want something solid. I put some Moog ones in my D30 and used a ball joint press to remove/install. GL.

 

Can I get the moog bushings at say an advanced or o rileys or will I have 2 order them and thanks for the info

 

I got my uppers from Advanced; I think they were $15 for the pair IIRC. Not sure about the lowers b/c I've got an IRO long arm system and they're in good shape.

 

Yeah its just the uppers I need I have custom lower control arms thanks for all the help

 

no problem, good luck with it. Rent you a ball joint press, works like a champ.

 

yup. here is a write up with pictures:

My son's 89 got new control arm bushings last year. What we did was buy a used set of arms - with all bolting (you never know) off this forum. Then, I soaked the bushing to control arm joints for 2 weeks with penetrating oil. The old bushings only required tapping to get them out. Used Moog replacement bushings. Then we took the old arms off the Jeep one at a time and replaced the old with the new. Sold the old arms in the for sale section. Especially if you need your Jeep as a daily driver, buy a second set, it saves you a lot of time and heartache.

For the one bushing on the axle, here is the link I used for creating a cheap tool to replace it. I see the picture is no longer on the site. Here is the link http://jeep.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/...ent-20477.html
