I need to remove and replace the poly bushings from my rear trailing arms. They are squeaking and popping and I can't stand it anymore.
The bushings are held in place with JB Weld. The arms are freshly powder coated and have new bearings in place so I don't want to use a torch to melt the JB Weld. Any suggestions on how to remove the bushings and clean up the inside diameter of the trailing arms without using a torch? Thanks in advance. Jack |

Sounds like you had everything covered so far as lubrication. I was thinking about making some light grooves in the surfaces of the bushing where the shaft fits, giving the grease a place to travel to and stay. I'll consult with an expert to see if that would destroy the surface causing them to crack prematurely or actually work similar to bronze bushings.
