replacing axle bushings

[blk92]

I have to replace the axle bushing soon and i am wanting to know what is the easiest way to install the bushings in to the axle? thanks

Didn't your upper & lower control arms come with bushings? Are they worn out already?

they are only worn out in the axle no other bushing is worn

The uppers do not come with bushings for the axle end. I used the 3/8" drill bit, like just about everyone else here does. Just drill and let it run around the outside and it'll come right out. The rubber isnt a problem at all. The metal sleeve though is a little "more fun." I had the rear out of the car, which made it tons easier. But if your just getting replacements, the metal sleeve would probably stay there anyhow.

I used my air hammer and whacked the sleeve and everything out then used a press to push the old one out and new one in.
