I've searched and don't see much about this but my high mileage 2008 has a noise when driving that sounds like the rotation of the rearend assembly is transferring sound to the body of the car. I'm starting to think its the rearend housing bushing, either on the upper control arm or the housing itself. I have a Metco upper control arm and bracket to install and am thinking of replacing the upper bushing on the rear end housing. What's the easiest way to remove this upper bushing? What is the best bushing to replace it with that will give me the quietest ride? I have a lift so accessing the underside of the car will be easy. I've seen people say they drill out the rubber but I am wondering how easily you can get a drill in the space while the rear is in the car. I've also seen where people drop the rear end. Seems like that would be a lot more work?
My car is stock, no plans to add any HP. Just looking for a good ride and the right bushing and easiest way to replace it. Thanks
