Has anyone serviced (replaced) the bushings in the rear knuckle/arms?

[Keyan]

I'm talking about the front most bushing. The one that the toe adjustment bolt goes through. There's a bushing and then it also looks like the arms seperates if you slide the arm off the collar?

Specifically #15 and #16 in this diagram

[Keyan]

Do we have an aftermarket option for those bushings?

[B-Man]

I've done them. I think it was 2-3 years ago but there weren't any aftermarket options readily available when I was looking. I think whiteline had something available but was on backorder indefinitely.

The end does come out of the arm. That's where the flex is to allow AWS to work.

[Keyan]

how does it flex? via rubber or pivot?

[B-Man]

Pretty sure just the rubber flexes. That way if the rear steer rack fails and goes limp, your wheels aren't turning all over the place.

am surprised no has yet removed (#16), weld in a threaded collar for use with a good sized Heim Joint.

[Keyan]

I would love for someone to do this because i deleted AWS and it would remove the need for the toe adjustment rods.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

the trailing arm metal is really thin, I'm not sure how you'd set something like that up.

[drew0u812]

You could put a thicker walled tube inside of it and weld that tube to the arm, should be enough surface area for good strength.

[B-Man]

I've thought about doing that for years, but it's just not worth the work, IMO.
