It's been a while since my last update, and I've been able to make some good progress over the past several weeks. I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on this project, but I've recently received a $50 citation from the village I live in, as punishment for having an 'inoperable' vehicle in my own driveway. As a result of the citation, I need to pick up the pace of this project, so as to avoid any further municipal harassment.At this point, I've (finally) removed all the bushings and sleeves. I DRASTICALLY underestimated the amount of effort this would take. The first several were incredibly difficult. The rest weren't as bad, but still very time consuming and annoying. My method was to burn out a majority of the rubber, then use a reciprocating saw to cut through the metal sleeve. It was really hard to evenly and all the way through the sleeve. Many times I had cut almost through the sleeve, but not enough to completely separate, which made things more difficult when trying to chisel out the sleeve. I managed to cut grooves in a few of the control arms, but planning to fill the grooves and mars with JB weld, and then grind them flush, to prevent any premature wear on the new poly bushings.Right now I've just about finished painting all the arms and knuckles and other brackets; I'll probably do another coat or two just to be safe. I've got the trailing arm bushings and sleeve pressed in. What a relief to see the bushings and sleeve press in so easily. Plus it was nice to finally be able to put the shop press to good use, since it was nearly useless in removing the bushings.Later this week, I'll be filling the grooves and mars with JB weld and grinding it all flush, then pressing in the new poly bushings. I was originally planning to replace the wheel bearings during this project, but I think after spending so much time on the bushings, I just want to be done. The bearings seem fine, and I already have the replacements, so if I have to change them out in the future, I won't mind too much.RE: rear upper ball joints. After some examination, it seems that these balljoints are different than the front upper balljoints. I haven't taken any measurements to see if they would fit, but the design of the rear balljoints seems to limit the movement of the joint to be within two narrow channels. I'll upload a picture of this soon. I haven't been able to find replacements for these, so I may just leave them for now and swap out the whole upper arm sometime down the line.RE: rear tie rod things. I've decided that I won't replace these just yet. The balljoint part seems to be in fairly good shape, so I will be reinstalling the original arms and we'll see how it goes. I was able to find a replacement pair for under $100, so if they need to be replaced, it should be an easy fix later on.Control arms after cleaning with wire wheel. Ready for VHT epoxy paint (satin black)Pressing in the trailing arm bushing. Went in very smooth. Very liberal usage of the included lubricant. The sleeve on one of the arms had a ton of corrosion and buildup that I couldn't get off; bushing still pressed in just fine.These replacement bushings reuse the OEM sleeve. I used a wire wheel to clean off the sleeve, after using the torch to melt off all the remaining rubber from the stock mount.
