DIY - SPL Compression Rod Bushing Install
#84
I had a weird one with this today, did the passenger side first, no problem.
Pressed out the driver side bushing (I had SuperPro in there), then went to press the spl in place... If just fell through the hole!
I measured the spl, it's roughly 60.4mm, so I believe it's fine and that somehow the compression rod has distorted, strange.
Anyone else had that?

Good:
Bad (very)
New arm on the way, and no, I didn't drive around on it.
EDIT:
New arm worked, so pressed in as usual

Nice, Ive noticed it definitely matters what installation you're on and what the AD population is. Ft Detrick is probably the tiniest base Ive been on with the smallest Hobby shop, vs APG which use to be an AIT training location and its Hobby shop was well put together and very clean

Thanks for the write-up. FYI, if anyone is having trouble finding the recommended DOM steel tubing, you can get it online. http://www.onlinemetals.com/

bushing removal with autozone loaner tool
Hey i just did my whole front end with the whiteline essentials kit. I found that the autozone master ball joint press kit ( part # 27310 )comes with a receiving tube that works perfect to press out the old bushing. It has a stepped end which also aids in centering. Popped them right out using my harbor freight 12 ton press.
