I called Hans today. He switched my order over to superpro and said they would finally ship out today. My car has been waiting for these bushings for well over a month now. Sucks I haven't been able to drive it.

Yeah, thats why i went ahead and did research for the front bushing, but the rear one is pretty much only available from super pro or whiteline. I need to get a Ball joint press to do mine then finish pressing my bushings in (ive been using sleeves and a vice LOL). Ill take some pics of the bushings and hopefully have this project wrapped up by Friday or Saturday. Afterwards i will go back and finish the second part of the how to portion.Quote:

Ive bought so many "specialty" tools its crazy. Picked up a 3 jaw puller, pickle fork, and fuel line quick disconnect tools in the last 2 months. Trashed my HF bearing splitter a few weeks ago too )=.Quote:

My GZP order finally came in yesterday afternoon with the superpros. I wasted no time putting it all in:) Also did new balljoints and tie rod ends. However I won't be trying it out until my new rims come in. My current r6 rims don't clear my big brake kit.
Pic. Used my friends press to do the balljoint, and used a balljoint tool to remove the front bushing. My stock rear bushings were still solid but when I pulled off the rubber there was maybe 1/8th of an inch of rubber caked onto the control arm pin. I can't imagine that would pivot too well. I cleaned it up with a razorblade.

Yea, the way i did the rack this time felt much easier than doing it from under the car or trying the whole column. This is my second time swapping out a rack, the first time I fought with the rack for 5 or 6 hours to get it on from under the car. This time it took me about an hour actually getting everything installed. I had a bad drivers side axle and outer tie rod end so those will be here on Wednesday along with my rebuilt t case from Jacks. I wont be able to actually drive my car until Thursday or later :(.
