Replacing bushes...front
Discussion
Any tips and tricks?
Having a look at the the (blue) poly bushes and most of them seemed not that frightening to work with, with one exception: The upper bush between the ARB and the uplink. Must be hard to fit since it has flanges on either side of the bush. Is it possible to press it into the uplink in a vice? What about fitting it to the ARB afterwards? Can´t use a vice there so will it do with human muscle force?????
Read the bible but not much help or how to......

Steve Heath does rose jointed ARB links which are much better than poly and not too expensive

As previous reply SH drop links recommended. However the bush you refer to can be fitted using a nut / bolt / large washers or socket and plenty of lubricant.

Did the ARB bushes with Poly, only problems were rusted in split pins that hold the washers on the upper drop link to ARB mounting. Ended up cutting them , then drifting them out, and replacing with new ones.
Just make sure that the suspension is fully loaded when you tighten everything up. (Axle stands under the front hubs, no wheels on, and a big F-off trolley jack sat under the cross member under the engine, ready to take the strain.
