pivot arm bushings help

[mexicanjoe]

Has anyone tried to replace these bushings at home? how difficult is it and how long does it take? Id like to try it myself, due to price quoted me, Im thinking of trying it.. any tips or things to look for ?

2wd rt?
Your talking about the bushing that the axle beams pivot on? if you have the tools to do it yes its a 3/10 for difficulty, I had a hard time lining everything back up to bolt together (took me 4 hours). A impact and a second set of hands will cut that time in half.

If the pivot arm bushings needs replacing, it likely would be a good idea to change the radius arm bushings at the same time.

Yeah I changed mine out with a ball joint press. Not a terrible job really.
