Replaced rear trailing arm bushings this a.m...... 200 1981

I only did the rears, since the others all looked fine. I also read on this board that the rears are the ones that typically go bad, while the others are less likely to.

I jacked the car up with a floor jack under the differential, put jack-stands under the jacking points in front of each rear wheel and lowered the axle.

Then I removed the bolts (much easier than I thought it would be) and jacked the axle back up to gain access to the bushings. I did one side at a time, but I suppose you could do both at once.

The poly bushings are a little pricey at over $60 including shipping, but save a lot of time and effort that would've been spent building a bushing tool and going several rounds with the stubborn sleeves.

Good luck!
