How To Replace Control Arm & Trailing Arm Bushings(DIY Tool)

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!

Where did you purchase those Grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers? I was searching for something like this last week, had to press in a wheel hub sleeve

[@sarawakiansborneo418]

Yup..can used for upoer arm bushing s too..Honda civic ek 1996

[@thebordernow]

Yeah, I was wondering.... that was some odd Vertical "trailing" arm.....but great content and explanation.

[@jackwood2328]

There are trailing arms all over the place on rear suspensions. Don't worry, we know what you mean. Good trick. Difficulty is finding fresh bushes that last 3 minutes.

[@deanoscott]

Rather than a long bolt, which as you pointed out, bottoms out, use threaded bar. Works a treat.

A fine thread rod is great too. Thanks for watching Dean! Be sure to look over my video playlists below for many other videos of interest to you, and most importantly take one minute to share a link to my channel with others on social networking sites. kzbin.infoplaylists

[@michaelgillespie3207]

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.

[@Scottsudz84]

How are you able to tighten it if you have the wheel back on and it isn't accessable . Do you have to do it in a pit or on a hoist ?

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 )

I like this idea! However, in older vehicles, when the bushings are extremely rusty, a grade 8.8 bolt won't be enough. You need to go with 12.9

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes, changing out the bolt is no problem. Thanks for watching!

[@Azlehria]

SAE grade 8 is not the same as ISO class 8.8. A rough equivalent to this 1/2"-13 grade 8 would be M12-1.75 class 12.9. Class 10.9 is almost directly comparable to grade 8, but "equivalent" metric sizes are generally slightly smaller - in this case a 1/2" bolt has a cross-sectional area ~12% greater than an M12, while class 12.9 is ~17% stronger than grade 8, *roughly* cancelling out the differences.

I tried making one for a torque strut mount using same setup except I used pvc pipe on the receiving end and yeah it didn’t work. The pvc just kept slipping up and the washers took a beating. It was just in there way too good. I used the pvc because the circumference was very big like 3” and that all I could find. Then the bolt snapped when trying to back the tool off. I’m only out 14 so not too bad I suppose. Taking the assembly off and to carqueat tomorrow to have it pressed out and then he new one pressed in.

Thanks for the video. Do you (or anyone reading this) think that one of those rental tool ball joint press kits would also work? I like the idea of making my own tool too but I have many different bushings to remove and it might be way too many trips to the hardware store during all the trial and error..

My auto parts store didn't have anything that would work.
