Rear Trailing Arm Bushing

[clouis897]

I started to do my rta bushings today i got the left side off, took the bushing out and pressed the new one in. Start to undo the bolts for the passenger side and the bolt the holds the toe arm to the frame is frozen. I tried to heat it up but i really dont wanna burn the rubber in the toe arm. Iam also using pb blaster to free it but nothing.

If anyone got ne ideas for me let me know.


This is what iam working with

Unbolt the rta bushings nd the lca bolt to the ta nd get a pry bar nd get pry on the front of the ta where ur tryin to get that bolt out nd there should be another on the very end nd just unbolt it there

[clouis897]

Thanks dude iam bout to go try that rite now

[SeanJDMJohn]

In the pic u posted nd the bolt u r trying to get out its the one on the other end of that bar

[clouis897]

no the one i really wanted to take out is that one you can see in the pic

[SeanJDMJohn]

Yeah but no one ever can get those off so the one u r tryin to take off go to the right about 7 inches nd take that bolt off lol

[clouis897]

lol yeah i know i should just try the other one i cant get a socket wrench in their only a box end. on the driver side i got that same bolt free but i was able to hit it with a hammer

[SeanJDMJohn]

Lol bro just do what I told u in my first post nd a socket will work or if not its a 14mm wrench use the closed end side so u don't strip it

[clouis897]

i did all that i need another person here to hold the trailing arm when i turn the bolt the whole shit turns lol

[SeanJDMJohn]

Just pull it then set ur wrench then crank on it ur good I just went thru this on my 5lug swap

you have to burn that bushing off the new trail arme come with i new bushing i had the same problem

[SeanJDMJohn]

Lol^ no u don't

[clouis897]

yeah i got that bolt loose that i shown in the picture, but now the bolt is loose and wont come out iam pretty sure that it is cross threaded or something along those lines. the bolt just keeps spinning in place, i dont know how i should go about trying to get it out?

[SeanJDMJohn]

Okay now this is ur other problem which is what most ppl go thru the nut on the other side keeps spinning that is the bolt that is ment to adjust toe so ur tires r facing forward nd not inward or outward
So with that being said u will need a alignment lol
Now u will either need a impact electric or air to get the bolt out(something that will spin the bolt twice as fast as the nut on the other side will spin u get it)
Then ur all set nd gl

thanks bro, i cut a hole in the interior where that bolt goes through but the nut on the other side isn't spinning, so iam thinking the threads are fucked
