NOTE: Replace the lower arm (A) as an assembly if the
lower arm has the paint mark (B) around the hole near
the front bushing. The paint mark can also be seen
around a hole on the bottom side of the lower arm in
the same area. Paint marks indicate a oversize bushing
has been installed.

1. Press out the bushing (A) with the bushing driver,

receiver set (attachment A), and a hydraulic press,
and remove the bushing from the lower arm (B).

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the inside of the
bushing hole when pressing on the bushing.

2. Clean the mating surfaces of the new bushing and

the lower arm.

3. Position the tab (A) of the bushing (B) with the

lower arm (C) as shown.

4. Using a hydraulic press, bushing driver, and

receiver set (attachments A and B), press in the
bushing into the lower arm.

(A) around the hole (B) near the front bushing (C).
Also paint a mark around the hole on the bottom
side of the lower arm in the same area.

NOTE: These marks are used to identify a lower
arm that has had the bushing replaced. Do not
replace the bushing in a lower arm with there paint
marks; you must replace the lower arm.
