when i was doing my lx-ex exhaust manifold swap, i noticed my bushings were trashed. but im not too familiar with the suspension, so im not sure what part/bushing i need to buy to replace it. anyone know where or what this parts called so i can order it at the parts store.. pics below. Thnaks.



and



do these guys look trashed?

 

pic #2 is sway bar end link kit, $13 a side at autozone.

or just pay $100 for a complete poly kit on ebay

 

good man! thanks

now for pic #1

 

pic #1 looks the the steering rod ball joint. u'd have to get that beast pressed out, or rent a special tool from autozone. can someone back me up on this???

 

all you need to get is a two jaw puller or a ball joint fork. the two-jaw puller works better and you can rent it if you dont want to buy.

 

great, thanks for the info and quick replies

 

pic #1 looks like it's just a tie rod end. don't think u can just replace the boot though. part house normally just sell the whole tie rod end. it shouldn't be that expensive. to remove it, do the following:
1) remove the nut on top, spray some penetrating oil on the thing and let soak.
2) thread the nut back onto the end (not all the way though just enough to protect the threads)
3) hit the steering knuckle where the two parts meet with a hammer. it should comes out. (may take some persuasion but it should drop down)
4) loosen the 19 mm jam nut on the tie rod.
5) as you unscrew the outer tie rod end, make sure u count how many turns it takes to separate it from the inner tie rod end so that when u go to install the new part screw it in the EXACT same amount of turns.
6) when this is all done have the alignment check (don't forget to tighten up the jam nut)
have fun..... it shouldn't be all that hard.
