OK, On my teg I only thought there were a few bushings in need of replacement, but as I look closer now they are amlost ALL WORN...i guess thats what i should expect for a 200+k mile car...

So i was wondering how hard it it to get one of those like energy suspention kits that come with all the bushings and replace them all, would i be able to do it myself or does it reqire a hyralic press like my dad it telling me...And how long do you think it would take, i want to add it to my summer project list

Thanks

it definitly is very time consuming. having a press will make that process so much easier.

as with anything it can be done by hand but having the right tools for the job will make life much, much easier.

about how many tons should the press be? ive got the bushings already just looking to buy or rent a press. also which grease do you guys recommend? thanks.

For grease, that Mobil 1 synthetic assembly lube works nice. It's sort of a neon purple color when it comes out of the tube.

Here's an article about a bushing install in a '90 LS: http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=426

I believe they used a 12-ton hydraulic press, and even then it was still rather annoying to get everything done.
