I want to put ES bushings on the rear contorl arms.

The question I have is which arm do they go on? the
tubular one that is mounted under the rear doors,
the arm that has the sway bar attached to it or the
rear flat arm.

Also how do you
get the stock bushing out?

Thanks in advance.

If you purchased the ES "kit" you have 4 bushings for the longitudinal "trailing arms" which run lengthwise from front to rr. YOu must burn out the old bushings which is very messy and smelly. The second set of bushings are meant to be installed in the knuckle. Very difficult to do with the knuckle on the car.

I tried them out and didn't like the additional harshness so I went back to the stockers. You'll get better handling with an acceptable ride by modifying the 4 lateral control arms.

Would I use the same ES kit for tha Lat arm as I used for the Long arm? And Do I burn them out as well?

Thanks
