Control arm bushing replacement
Folks I am trying to help my grandson replace the bushings in his front control arms. The fella next door said to burn them out, since we don't have the right tool. How do you folks do it? He has a cherokee sport 1998. By the way I have been watching everyday since I joined a couple days ago and you folks are amazing in helping just wish more folks would do it them selves so they could save a bundle. Anyway thanks for any help.

If you're replacing the bushings with stock rubber bushings you would be better off just replacing the whole control arm. But if you're replacing with poly, then burning them out works, a little smokey, but it works.

Folks he did it a little different, he used a hole saw and took out the center and then they were very easy to knock out. Put the poly's back in and all is good. Thanks for the help.

Starting to think that thu sent us the wron bushings in the hyper flex kit. Because een the bushing itself won't slide easily onto the mounting points back under the xj

I burned mine out and for the life of me can't get the Polly's in! Has anybody ever dealt with energy suspension bushings before? This is where we are at.
