1992 Supra turbo withdestroyed lower control arm bushing

[907mge]

Taking apart the suspension is pretty straight forward. I would recommend soaking the nuts and bolts over night with penetrating fluid. My friend changed out all his bushing with polys. They need to be pressed in . Also polys are stiffer but the main problem is if you replace only a few you will be mixing new and old. It will most likely cause problems that way. I would recommend doing all of them if possible.

Hi! If the set-up is the same as my 1987 supra , the arms are fitted with adjustable camber bolts . I would advise taking photos of the settings of the bolts for rebuild . also , my bolts had seized completely and this job turned out to be a complete soab but attainable with a lot of patience and time , also the tracking will need to be checked afterwards .

I recommend getting an alignment done anyway about it. The alignment may have been set since the bushings began to wear and setting the alignment bolts to the same position could still put the alignment a mile off with new bushings in place.

I also recommend you get the housings fitted with nipples for a grease gun. Urethane bushings need periodic lubrication or you may find the suspension has more creaks and groans than an old, haunted house after a year.
