Hi all,
Plenty has been written about the tools needed for replacing suspension bushes.

Some will know that I did Scooter when I first purchased him due to a bent top front arm.

So I've made up a tool for removing all the front and rear upper and lower bushes in the control arms.

So no more pressing or heating suspension parts!!!( if you read the instructions with the Energy bushes they say NOT to press or heat arms)

There will be 3 ways you can use the tool.

1/ You borrow the tool and do all the work yourself.
2/ You mark and remove all the arms, bring them to my place and I'll remove the bushes for you!
3/ You bring the car to my place and we R&R the suspension and fit the new bushes!

All of course for a donation :lol: :lol:

So all you QLDers, no excuses anymore for having Energy, Superpro bushes etc sitting in your bedroom anymore!!

PM if you need anymore info etc

Terry

PS, if your not comfortable doing suspension work or helping to do it, then please take the car to a specialist.
