I just got done with the trailing arm bushings on my sd, and it was a royal PITA! It took probably a total of 20 hours to do the whole job. A good peice of all thread, a bunch of big washers and a short section of wide pipe can make getting the bushings in and out a lot easier, but then again, you are going to have the trailing arms off the car right?

yes, I need to replace the trailing arms, so i think the easy way will be to drop the subframe. also any good leads on parts will be appreciated.

My Father and I replaced EVERYTHING. It all started because of rotted and rusty hard lines...we tore it all out. I would change over all that you can afford too - why not and it will be good for a nother 100k. Look at the tank flex line, the tank screens, the fuel lines, subframe mounts to aid alignment...the diff mount - diff fluid...etc...
Also - take the subframe out and do the work bench side... Jake also my bushings were a PITA - we sawsalled them out... Replaced fuel and brake lines today!

yeah- i need to replace the fuel supply line, prolly all the steel under there.(SS)
it's got cancer on both trailing arms. one i had to weld a patch on and the other has a quarter size hole in it. found them for a resonable price online. whats a good place to buy bushings?
