May 23, 200717 yr comment_210368 man, before lifting the car, do your measurements, make sure about the distances between the front/rear wheels..the sleeve I was talking about is located at the threaded side of the Compression rod.. actually it is hidden inside the compression rod's bushings.it the picture I posted previously, it is the piece of pipe shaped part which is located between numbers 7-7.. specificly has lighter color.. the sleeve will be between the washers which are in front of the bushing and the other washer which is at the back of the bushings..I hope that would help Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24304-after-replacing-all-front-bushings/?&page=3#findComment-210368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it would be clear.. from what it looked like, you set the rounded sit into the cup of the frame, yet on the www.atlanticz.com web site it says to do it with the flat part inside the cup of the frame. WHICH WAY? Will be pulling it out tomorrow to see.

May 23, 200717 yr Author comment_210456 well, the driver side which hasn't rubbed has the rounded edges going into the cup on the frame. While on the pass side, the rear bushing had the flat part actually cupped into the frame. So, I'm going to flip it, and tighten it down. Was wondering though, qhat should i tq them to?

May 23, 200717 yr comment_210458 do them like this and by flipping them you'll not have any difference in the caster thing.. check the lengths of the sleeves on right and left.. they might differ.. did u do the checks that I mentioned before lifting the car? it could be a waste of time and energy doing this before knowing where is the wrong dimension..
