Has anyone changed the rear bushing on your lower control arms?
Looks like an easy job 3 bolts and a nut.. any tricks? Mine are SHOT changing them out this weekend. Gonna do the rest later when I do a rock auto order, and likely just replace the upper arms as they are cheap.

Yep... 3 bolts and a nut.

Probably a youtube video about it.

It is an easy job, but that is the caster adjustment. May need to have an alignment after you swap them out if it pulls.
Also if you get them from a FLAPS they may give you the wrong bushings there are two styles.
