whiteline essentials install pics.
 

here are some pics of what was involved changing out my front bushings with the whiteline kit.
used a 27mm impact socket to remove both translink bushings. I then used an old sleeve from the busted bushing to press in the whiteline bushing.

use old sleeve and file down a chamfer to allow the sleeve to slip over the end of the whiteline bushing. will not harm the new bushing.

Well done! Nice thread. I'm going to be changing my rear shock mount bushings in a week. I'm hoping I don't need to remove the entire axle assembly and I'm going to try to press the old ones out of the car with a screw-type press kit.

Very nice! I'll probably be doing this soon myself while I do my ball joints. Also, do you think the filing is necessary on the old bushing? Couldn't you just place one on top of the other?

the reason why i filed down the inside is because the whiteline bushing could get damaged if the old bushing sleeve isnt centered correctly over it. it could dig in and slice the urethane. the chamfer is just to help it slip over the end of the urethane.

This is an excellent thread.

awesome thread.... i really hate how these suspension parts require so much work to replace their bushings. i'm assuming its like this with every car? is there not an easier way to get this done?

Nope :icon14:

I just completed the install today as well, incl the subframe bushings :D
