Learn how simple it is to replace control arm & trailing arm bushings, or knuckle bushings(as shown in this video) by using the DIY press tool shown in this video. It will make removing old, worn, noisy bushings an easy task. Parts for this control arm & trailing arm bushing tool can be purchased at your local hardware store or home improvement store for under $20. This tool can also be modified for different size bushings by using larger pipe and different size sockets. You can also use this tool for other applications. Save a lot of money by replacing the bushing yourself, instead of paying a machine shop to do the job. Enjoy!

ATTENTION: In the video I referred to the suspension part with the faulty bushing as the "Trailing Arm", that was incorrect. I was replacing the KNUCKLE BUSHING. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much. I am stuck in a downward spiral toward a complete dead end, but this bushing compression tool may save the diy project. I was "simply" intending to change the rear wheel bearing in my GMC Terrain, until I snapped off two of the four bolts holding the WB to the knuckle. That led to a decision to remove the knuckle, and thus the need to remove two control arm bushings. You have given the weekend, wannabe thorough mechanic hope!

Out of at least 5 videos and 3 or 4 writeups on how to do this without specialty tools, your video is the one that made the most sense to me, lol. I mean, everyone else did/said something similar but what clicked for me was having that socket the right size to slide through the arm/into that fitting. Thanks so much man. I think the spiders in my garage now know how to curse :P

I keep a couple different sizes of hardened threaded rod to make my own bushing presses. and when you are putting everything back together make sure that the vehicle is at "ride height" when tightening any bushing thru-bolt (unless specified in the factory service manual) in order to avoid shortening the life of the bushing.

I've been collecting metal plates and big washers left over from projects at work. Now I just hope I have the right size sockets. If not, I'll be cutting and welding some scrap metal together to get it done.

Hello , I,ve been doing this for years on old land - rovers , you are doing very well with this , but can I make a few points please : you have a relatively new vehicle here , on an old vehicle , these bell out hard right into the housing ( hole ) , & I have ripped the thread off of a 9/16 UNF hardened steel bolt trying to get them out this way , cranking with 2 sockets & ratchets , the bigger the bush is , the tighter they are in , a moderate smear of copper grease on both , the inside of the hole , & the outside of the bush , helps a lot to locate these bushes , & helps to prevent corrosion jamming them in hard for the next time you have to change it . It,s not a bad idea to copper - grease the through - bolt as well . Also , ensure you have all burrs carefully removed out of " the hole " without enlarging it before squeezing the new one in . This might sound like nit - picking but it all helps snatch success out of the jaws of failure . Good job from an old - timer ! ( use copper grease , not mineral grease as that will destroy your new rubber component )

Great tip. You probabily can use this with a different size socket to replace a lot of bushings this way. The tool from Autozone works pretty good.

@@electronicsNmore I know :) I've mostly been following your electronics stuff ( Your Reviews, gadgets, hacks, mods etc etc) from my other account since your induction heater video! Seen most videos multiple times and I usually don't buy anything or start a project till I've checked your opinion of it or a similar video to what I'm planning and/or getting. However, once again falling down the rabbit hole that is your channel I just love the way you can explain just about ANYTHING in a simple and concise way without all the fluffy waste of time BS & shilling. It's very conducive to my (and I'm sure many others) preferred way of learning. The broad array of topics is amazing! Thank you for all your hard work and the knowledge you've shared! It is very much appreciated

Next time get you a whole set of sockets a lot cheaper and multiple sizes for future jobs. Also another impact-socket(larger of course) would allow the bushing to come through without resetting again bottoming out and aligning the bushing. But your idea worked for you and that’s what’s matters.
