Lsgun1 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Serviceable as in replaceable? I don't see why not.
MY164X4 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Posted October 8, 2020 Truck is at the dealership now .I guess my faith is in the hands of the mechanic.Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk
Grumpy Bear Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Service-able. Absolutely. Now finding someone will to do it instead of the quicker A arm replacement is another story. They like to do what is quickest and easiest for them. $$$$ The R & R of the A arm as a unit MAY be cheaper than that of the bushings but yes, it can be done and parts are available. 1
HeySkippyDog Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 It's more effective to change the arm. It takes a lot of force to push the bushings in and out. You could probably make a jig of some type to do it, but what's your time worth?Sent from my SM-A516U using Tapatalk 1
Grumpy Bear Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The tool is called an arbor press. Ever hear of guys replacing those rubber biscuits with Urethane? https://energysuspension.com/ It isn't rocket science. 2
