well... read over a thread that Tom posted about and decided to look into it as i never figured on inspecting them before... one guy in the thread mentioned his UCA bushings were backing out. well, i have been chasing some rattles in my rear end and couldnt find anything... well.. back my car up onto a curb and slid under the car and noticed both axle bushings were backing out where the UCAs attach.

i dont have the cash on hand to convert to trilink yet (2 months or so). does anyone have any experience with this? and does anyone know if it'd be a bad thing to just wrench down my UCA bolts harder to hopefully push the bushings back? remove the bolt and try and hammer them in then reattach the UCAs? what do you think?

If it's the metal sleeves that are backing out, just do what I did and weld a line on both sides of it after you center it. No more backing out. Just make sure you remove the bushing before welding.
