[QUOTE="Mystic-SVT, post: 11136714, member: 74874"] OP, if you're a mechanic by trade then this shouldn't take you more then 6hrs to do, thats about what it would take me to do the bushings you're going to do with the car on jack stands. Bodge323, its not too hard of a job to drop the IRS assembly; -remove exhaust -unbolt driveshaft -remove lower rear seat and unplug ABS sensors and push through bottom of floor -remove emergency brake cable and unbolt from control arm -remove caliper from knuckle -mark upper control arm camber adjustment bolt and remove -swing caliper and brake hose between knuckle and control arm so it doesn't bind when lowering cradle -unbolt shocks from control arms -support irs assembly with jack -remove rear cradle bolts -lower jack slowly to where the springs are loose enough to remove -remove front cradle bolts (might have to use crow bar/large screw driver to get cradle to come out of front pockets. -lower irs assembly carefully watching to make sure you don't catch the calipers and bind the brake hoses. You will have to have the car high enough to be able to slide/roll the IRS assembly out the back or side. Here is a shot of the 03 I just finished installing a complete FTBR bushing kit. I removed/installed the whole assembly by myself so its not impossible to do on your own. [ATTACH=full]242942[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
