Loose upper control arm bushing
HI All,
I'm replacing the upper control arm bushings on my 2000 XJ (non lifted). When removing the axle end bushing on the passenger side the bushing just fell right out of the mount and the new bushing just slips in without a press. It is not a solid fit. On the frame end the bushing pressed in just like it should.
The new bushings are Moog K3162 (listed by Rockauto as the correct part). They say on the bushing itself "Clevite Silentblock FG 61332"
Is the axle mount just worn out? If so what's the fix?
Thanks

The axle mount is worn. You can replace it with one cut off of an axle from the boneyard, or look and see if Rusty's Off Road has a beefier one. You will have to weld it on though.
