Hi all,

How involved is installing new body to frame bushings on a 2nd gen 4-dr that only has surface rust?

TIA

 

Shouldn't be "too" hard. The thing you need to worry about the most is if the center bolt comes out the way it should. The other thing is you want to loosen the bolts on the others so you can lift the body easily without tweaking the body. You just need to lift enough to remove the old bushing and slide the new on in. An extra pair of hands would be helpful. You shouldn't have to worry about brake lines, wires, linkages, etc. Being as you have a four door, you might want to borrow and extra floor jack, I don't know, though. I was able to lift my two door with one jack and a length of 2X4 with no problems when I put on the body lift. I lifted on the rocker panels. Just not sure about a four door.

 

AJBert,

This is great info. Thanks.
