most annoying f'ing thing i've ever done. in a 10yr old car, those bushings are just stuck in that tiny f'ing place. i wanted to plant c-4 next to the shift linkage about 2 hrs in.

it really took me 4 hrs. 4 FUCKING HOURS!!!! i don't even know. they were just soooo stuck and that place it's in is jsut sooooo small.

arghhhh....

i hope i can feel a difference. haven't even had a chance to drive yet....lol. bummer.

peace.

The front bushing? Mine wasn't bad at all. Took maybe a half-hour. Old bushing just popped right out. Worst part was a spring (that I haven't seen in any of the write-ups, but was on mine).

I swapped out the entire assembly for a new one when I broke my stock one in an hour.

Air tools FTW! :grin:

the spring was actually one of the easier parts. nothing else wanted to budge , though. does KB sell the rear as well? i'll have to check that out.

They just need to get their website updated. They have several things that aren't listed on the website, or are hard to find.
