Replacing Lower Mount Bushes

[dori34]

hi guys,

the bushes in my rear coilovers are completely fked and they need to be replaced. basically the centre sleeve has come off the shock and its on metal to metal contact now.

i came across these replacement bushings from driftworks which fit both the driftworks & HSD coilovers. (i have KTS coilovers but theyre from the same factory just rebadged)

has anyone fit these or replaced the lower mount bushes on coilovers and know how its done? is this something i can do myself at home or would i require a suspension place to have a look at them?

Driftworks comments "Burn out the existing bushes and use the steel sleeve with the new polybush."

i cant picture these being fitted like now they would be from factory.

heres a picture of my lower mount with the fkd up bush, clearly has seen better days!

appreciate any help.

Well, as the instruction says......burn out the rubber, use the remaining steel sleeve, insert the poly bush back where the rubber was.

Just make sure when you hit up the shock to burn out the bush dont let it hit up too much along the shock have a bucket of water handy to slam it in once you burned it out.

What is hit?

i think he means heat,

but thanks, im gonna remove the mount from the shock rather then burn it whilst still fitted.

i had a feeling it was pretty straight forward but just couldn't picture them being fitted.

thanks guys.
