Re: Replacing rubber suspension bushes.

You will need at least a basic hydraulic press in addition to a variety of metic bushing press tools. On older cars it is not uncommon to have the outer sleeve frozen to the control arms.

Have fun, good luck.

Re: Replacing rubber suspension bushes.

Can anyone comment on differences between the "hardrace" set of bushings and the Mugen hard bushings sold by King Motorsports? Also, where can you buy the "hardrace" ones?

Re: Replacing rubber suspension bushes.

I bought my Hardrace bushings on ebay from a seller called "DOHCgarage," if I remember correctly. I don't have any experience with the Mugen bushings.
