Rear axle bushings

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

if you go to the dealership and order the complete assembly (and I recommend
getting new face plates, the bolts and nuts not forgetting the plastic cap
that covers the nut against corrosion, the bushings are pre-assembled.

I would strongly recommend reading my tech note I created when I did mine
over a year ago, yes they may be a little pricey, but simple to install
(check the trick I used) and you will not need to change them for some
times.

=>I need to replace them, but I don't have ready access to any sort of
=>press.  I'm also unsure of what kind of bushing to use and where to get
=>them.
=>
=>on my 88 16v, I've lowered the car using H&R soft sports and coupled
=>them with your run of the mill gabrial gas shocks/struts.  Current
=>bushings are original's and the drivers side has desided to let go and
=>is causing the car to lean even with my fat ass out of the car.
=>
=>Is there anyone that sells the bushing already pressed into the part and
=>all I will have to do is bolt it in?  An will adding poly bushings to
=>the rear cause any extra vibration/rattle or anything that I should
=>expect?  What type of bushing should I go with and where do I get them?
=>
=>Thanks,
=>William
