Selected User Reviews For Energy Suspension 8.7106R Rear Track Arm Bushing Set
I had to force it on the bar because it was too big, and some of the poly had to be shaved off, and it looks squished in a way that makes me think it won't last long. However, I was able to get it to work, and the vehicle no longer flops around, making it much safer. It's been about 4 months and it's still working, so I'm happy, especially because buying the entire part would have cost a lot more money, and this inexpensive replacement has done the job so far. It was a pain to install, and buying a replacement bar with the bushing already installed would have saved me a lot of time. br>The reason was that the fit was poor, so I had to spend more time just getting the bushing into the bar correctly, and then it was so deformed that getting it between the bracket on the vehicle required some ingenuity. But it's tight, very tight, and I'm not sure how well it moves, so, as I mentioned, we'll see how long it lasts and report back later.
Installing the track arm (pan hard bar) is simple enough. To remove the OEM bushings, I used a small shop press. These can be aggravating, so plan ahead of time with a strategy for getting rid of them. These go in nice and tight once they've been taken out. br>br>It was a nightmare reinstalling the track arm - I wish you luck in your future endeavors! Prepare yourself once more. What worked for me was to install the frame side of the track arm first, and then pry the track arm out with a jack and a small pry bar through the bolt hole - In order for the axle bolts to line up, they must be aligned. Patience is a virtue, and you must be ready to fight. All of this, of course, has nothing to do with the bushings. They are precisely what I was looking for.
Even though the junk is only 8 months old, it needs to be replaced immediately.
It is simple to set up.
