Removing Front Castor Rod Bushes

[bazr33]

Hi Guys

My front right castor road bush is split and leaking silicone shit! haha

I have bought the front pair of bushes, which dont need to be press fitted.

Just wondering ppl that have taken the standard r33 gtst bushes out if they are hard to do?

Do they have to be pressed out?

Just had quote from ppl today and they are charging like 130 bucks to do it .

I had a go the other day trying to get the nut off, but ended up snapping the bloody socket.

Atleast i know something on my car isn't falling off in a hurry.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

The factory ones need to be pressed out. And I think you will find that your new bushes will need to be pressed in.

where did you get bushes that don't need to be pressed in? which brand?

$130 is pretty cheap thats about 2 hours labour in and out.

i got the bushes from driveline services in

Archerfield, Brisbane QLD

The front pair for 51 bucks

They are called polytuff Suspension bushes

Part number: RR5255k

i found that a couple of places were charging ridiculus amounts for the bushes aswell, ranging up to 110 bucks.
