To do the Trailing Arm bushings, you are going to have to drop the whole Sub Frame to get the arms off.

Use 3 floor jacks, one under ea arm and one under the Diff. then lower the assy down and roll back out from under the car. Remove the 13mm bolt in the hub, the 2 24mm nuts and remove the bolts. then pull the arms off to replace the bushings.

some where in a thread I listed a detailed list what to remove before you lower it down. here is a good thread Army started.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
