Rear Spring Eye Bushing Replacement | Freightliner Semi Truck

[@86angrybees]

Doing this job right now on the front of two trucks. Two large sockets and a piece of all thread is my tool to press the bushings in

[@wisemechanic1758]

Will this put the bushing out that have the big lip on one side?

[@harpsidhu195]

Where I can get this tool from ?

[@killnconquer2645]

What jack are you using to lift the entire rear end?

[@JoseRodriguez-t1s]

Can i use a big socket to take them bushings out if i dont have the machine to take them out?

[@Diezeling]

Just subscribe , your a gangster mechanic and know your shit Homie !!! 👍🏽 I usually torch’em a bit and beat them out and then clean with wire brush and bang them in with my tool I made ! Maybe I’ll use kingpin press like you ? Nah ? Good job 👏🏽

Are you mostly a suspension shop? And could you give us a tour of the shop you work in? I’m a diesel mechanic for a construction company. We do a little of everything, I do a lot of suspension, chassis, electrical and hydraulic stuff. (Mixer trucks) chalmers, camelbacks and we just started gettin some haulmaxx

[@guacamoleweiner69]

Im a diesel mechanic for a construction company too. We do mostly equipment but sometimes we'll get the haulers and oiler trucks. Its nice not dealing with costumers

Isnt the bushing backwards?

[@larrynalls8882]

Yes. Installed new bushings backwards. Sucks to be the next guy to replace those.

[@andyfederman]

Freightliner won’t let me do bushings like this, I showed them your other videos and we tried one truck the way you do it, but the regional Daimler truck rep said to push them in from the other side. I have an email in to the engineers but no one got back to me yet. Do you mark bushing orientation before you push the old ones out and do an alignment afterwards?

[@johnz8210]

What was the reason the rep gave for installing them the other way? Does it matter which side the flange is on? The flange seems like more of an installation aid.

[@andyfederman]

@@johnz8210 all they said was that’s how they’re installed from the factory and they have a tendency to walk outwards, so the flange stops that. I stopped arguing with them. I just hold the tool a little sideway when I push them in from the inside and I don’t have to take the driveshaft out.

[@johnz8210]

@@andyfederman OK thanks. I guess if we see the truck on this video come back for bushings out of place we'll know.

[@andyfederman]

@@johnz8210 I have pushed a lot of these bushings in “backwards” according to Freightliner and the trucks are repeat customer’s, none of them have walked out on me yet. I would keep doing them the easy way if Freightliner would let me.

[@johnz8210]

@@andyfederman Thanks. I agree with you. I think if everything is aligned and parallel, the flange doesn't do much of anything after the bushing is installed. Bushings moving out of place seems like a sign of another problem to me, but that's just opinion.

[@killnconquer2645]

Does it matter which way the bushing faces when going back in, I noticed you’re pushing it through the opposite way

[@TruckerBill0531]

Will this work for front springs

[@Oscarhernandez-fh5ix]

Can you tell me what's the name of the hydraulic machine? Thanks
