Suspension rebuild

[59ghia]

Just received my new poly bushings and there are no outside sleeves. I've read former threads and everybody seems to be cuttin', chislin' the old ones out. So can I assume the poly's don't require an outside sleeve? I have my own press so I'll get them out in one piece.

Thanks Dave

There is no outer sleeve with the poly bushings. Ths stock ones only have one because they are made that way. The rubber is bonded to the outer and inner sleeves on the stock bushings. They are a one piece bushing, unlike the urethane replacements.

Just be sure to clean up the mounting area so there isn't any corrosion or nicks in the metal, and grease the outside of the bushing well. I greased the bushings inside and out, plus I greased the sleeve for the mounting bolt inside and out so there is less chance for any squeaking of the bushings.
