I did this repair on the road using a borrowed garage and the monster allen wrench purchased from a local industrial supply. The parts were overnighted in. Removed the arms, walked them over to a machine shop and shortly thereafter had the new bushings pressed, and tacked in place. It's a very quick job for an equipped shop. A quick alignment and we were all set for the trip home. |
