Bushing blown out of the rear trailing arm link. I would rather press in a new bushing rather than change out the whole link. Can someone direct me to a known supplier for this bushing? I can't seem to locate one. THANKS

I just put in a new trailing link last week.
( bought the whole assembly from Groton.)
Can a bushing be pressed in without removing the arm?
I don't think you can save the rubber housing to install a new bushing .
I had to burn mine out with a torch.

Thanks for response. Have intended to remove the link out from the trailing arm tubing. What is this about a rubber housing? What did you have to burn out with a torch? The link itself from the square tubing?
Thanks Bob's 850.

Yes, you'll find getting the hard rubber around the link out is the toughest part of the job.
Wouldn't hurt to order yourself some new bolts too.
The back bolt is pressed in from the top and banging on the loosened nut underneath will pop it out.
I took a long drill bit and made some holes in the rubber (don't drill into the frame.
When I took out the bolt ,the bushing fell out.
used a map gas torch (or propane if you have that ) and had to melt the rubber housing. You can use an open pipe wrench and the top knuckle of the wrench will fit into the arm link. Use this to pull on the link as you melt it and the part should come out clean.
When you put the new arm in don't bang on the metal arm to get it into the sleeve. Hit both sides of the rubber housing ,a little bit on each side until it is set in place.

Thanks paulied and jthorner for your interest and direction. I'll go ahead and have the part brought in. So long for now, Bob850.

If this is the one you are looking for, ScanTech makes a replacement and it is available from usual places like eeuroparts.com. Around $100

Thanks for your concearn. Yes that's the link. I've located both jobbers also. But was hoping to locate a source to buy only the rubber bushing on the outboard end of link. The bushing would be pressed into the housing and the spacer pressed through the bushing. I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
So Long, Bob's 850.
