Rusty's GUIV-Upgrade

[NissanGQ4.2]

ok so kris and i reckon the bushes are flogged out at the front end, im chasing Mudski up for the replacements, what do people think of using something like this to remove them? or i could but one but this looks like a cheaper way lol:

A suspension place will do the job *L*

They might be your winch bitch 2

Are you talking about the slow cooker/fryer plug next to the sink? That looks interesting, 240vac and a little water

Press these bushes out is the easiest. I bought myself an eBay 12T press for around $150. I've only used it a handful of times so far but I reckon its already saved me paying someone to do it.

i used a press to get mine out/ in and it made it a million times easier. I didnt have a press tool for the bush, but i pushed the center out (rubber bit) and then used a cold chisel to belt out the steel ring. Not ideal, but if your careful its fine. I does take a little while but i used what i had. I then used the press and the old steel ring to push in the new bush. A second set of hands helps. I think it took about 4 hours to do it with a mate. Only do one side at a time as it can be tricky lining the diff back up otherwise.

FWIW I was quoted $600 a side to have mine done at a shop. Cost me an arvo, some beers and LESS then $200 in parts. Genuine parts too.

thanks guys, its been miserable and cold and wet up here and i havent had time to even look at the thing, hopefully ill get a start on it this arvo but sh!t has just been so damm busy. i would have to say that 2015 has been the year of time flying by and having no time for me.

You can say that again mate, I can definitely relate to that theory. I've still got a box of parts on the garage floor to put in but haven't managed to do it yet, and one of them is a fuse FFS!!

does anyone the forum sell steering dampers? i would rather support a vendor from here than a random tom dick and harry from the interwebs.

i was looking on superiors website, there are so many options, i have no idea what is good and what is better, can someone point me in the right direction?

ironman are on here.

If you give superior a call they will be able to point you in the right direction.

Imo I didn't think there was a whole lot of difference between brands, other then some being a return to center and others just being standard. For what it's worth I had a efs jobbie on my car when I bought it and have since replaced it with ome and it doesn't seem to be much different. To me anyways.
