DISASSEMBLY - ISOLATOR BUSHINGS
NOTE: The following procedure can be used for
either lower control arm isolator bushing.
CAUTION: Use a vise equipped with soft jaw caps
to protect the surface of the control arm from dam-
age.
(1) Clamp lower control arm securely in vise so
that bushing to be removed is closest to vise jaws
(Fig. 18).
NOTE: Before using Special Tool 6969B, lubricate
threads of Screw Assembly 6969-3 with appropriate
lubricant.
(2) Assemble
pieces
of
Remover,
Special
Tool
6969B, through bushing as shown (Fig. 19).
CAUTION: Do not use any type of impact wrench on
Special Tool 6969B. Use only hand tools.
(3) Hold Screw, Special Tool 6969-3, stationary
while rotating Nut, Special Tool 6969-4 clockwise.
This action will force isolator bushing out of control
arm, into Receiver, Special Tool 6969-2.
(4) Remove tools and bushing from arm. A small
portion of bushing rubber may come loose lodging
itself between Remover and control arm bushing
boar, causing some resistance during tool removal.
NOTE: For bushing installation, (Refer to 2 - SUS-
PENSION/REAR/LOWER CONTROL ARM - ASSEM-
BLY).
INSPECTION - LOWER CONTROL ARM
Inspect the lower control arm for the following:
• Inspect the control arm for any signs of damage
and cracks. If the control arm shows any sign of
damage or cracks, the control arm must be replaced.
Do not attempt to repair or straighten a broken or
bent lower control arm.
• Inspect both control arm isolator bushings for
severe deterioration. These bushings can be serviced
separately.
