I'm getting ready to tackle the Z&M control arms that have been collecting dust in my garage for way too long. Anyone have a copy of the instructions they can email me?
Also, what methods have been used to R&R the bushings?
Thanks,

Zack

Thanks, I'll send you a pm with my address if no one comes up with an electronic version. Install set up for Thursday.

You are a clown Mike, did you install the bushings yourself? NO!

Yes, I did. Just didn't have to remove the old.

At least I have an electronic reference.

Being a vendor and you don't? :puke:

Thanks Mike, I did print it out previously, but the one thing you didn't do is R&R the bushings.

Basically, you need an anvil and a 2" Galvanized pipe plug, along with a 3-5lb sledgehammer.


...or a press if you have one :up:

+2 on the shop press. That's what I used to press the bushings in.

The hardest part of the job was pulling the rear wheels off.
