Alright So this is how I replaced my UCA Bushings.

First you take your control arm and remove the bolt:



then you put it up and out of the way:



then you take your All joint press and pop it out: (mind you on the drivers side I had to use a 1 5/16" socket on the end to push it all the way thru)



then once removed set your new one in:



and then press it all the way in:



and once it is seated bolt it all the way back up: (i drilled out the "bumps" and then used 1/2" hardware on mine)



Install time was just over an hour on the drivers side about 20 minutes on the passenger side

also found some new rock rash!

 

You left out the part where you buttered them up before pressing them in lol

 

that was good

 

is that the harbor freight press kit?

 

nope. AZ press. I just do my work in their parking lots so I dont have to rent(buy and then get a refund) the tool. I just leave my wallet and do my work and then get my wallet back

 

haha that's awesome

 

nice write up with good pics. Thanks!!! I didnt know I could use my ball joint press to R&R these

 

Yup! the only other alternative is to burn them out and then cut the sleeves out...

but trust me it is no easy task. the pictures make it look easy lol

 

Just put up my pics for the King of Kits. Good Luck to both of us.

 

So here are some teasers from today


here are a few teasers (the end of the video is the best )

 

Woah!! Nice Tierod lol time for a ZJ Tierod

 

Ok so I almost crapped my pants watching that, I can only imagine what you did. and well at least now you have an excuse for an over knuckle steering or an upgraded tie rod.

Oh and I just signed up on the Cherokeetech.

 

Sweet! make a welcome thread so we can welcome you on!

and I am honestly used to it. once you do a roll at 30 a slow speed flop is like

I am uploading a quick edit (14 minutes) video now. youtube says 231 more minutes lol.

 

I just need 1 ton steering. I am going to get some black pipe to put over it for now tho

 

now it is time to find out which part bent and when


and here are some more pictures
