HHR Control Bushing

murcog

Can i just unbolt the two inner bushing locations and "swing" the arm enough to change the inner bushing?

thecardoc3

Almost. Is the sway bar link connected to the lower arm? If so then that needs to be removed, otherwise yes.

murcog

sway not hooked, got control arm out, removed rubber bushing, but steel sleeve on new bushing is same size as hole? do I just push rubber from new bushing into old arm?

murcog

thank you cardoc3

murcog

new bushing has steel sleeve around bushing?

thecardoc3

Yes, the vertical one does. The horizontal bushing does not, but that one usually does not need to be replaced.

murcog

thank you, all done! was easier to replace entire arm after I found out I didn't have the right "core drill" sizes to press properly,,,,Thank you thecardoc3 for your time
