Any one have tips on replacing the rear axle beam bushings?
can i just remove the bracket and remove the bushing or the whole axles has to come off?
 
i had it done at a garage, bushing cost 25$ each, and the job cost me like 125$ so its not that bad. Cause those bushing are pressure inserted and they have a specific way to go in. I didn't want to do it myself cause i dont have a press machine and its kidda shitty job to do.
 
hard part was cutting the old sleeve out. I used a handsaw and cut a slit to relieve the tension and hammered it out.
the new mount i tossed them into the freezer and heated the trailing arm. it slide in nicely with not too much force.

took about 1 hour a side and diffculty level was average.
