IRS rear control arm bushings

[SVT32VDOHC]

I know you have to remove the upper and lower arms completely to install these. My question is....Are the bolts just a regular style nut and bolt, or.....are they a special bolt that must be put back in the same position?? Basically, I'm asking does the car need an alignment after you do these?

I know when I did the upper control arms on my F150, those bolts had to be put back in the exact same spot and I needed an alignment afterwards. Ae the Cobra control arm bolts like this?

Also.....for the rear diff bushing. It's cheap, and comes with the tool. Do the new ploy bushings have to be pressed back in, or can you just lube them and smack them back in with a mallet?

the only bolt that is cammed is the upper knuckle bolt. If you mark it and replace it the same you should be good. But after you remove and reinstall everything I would spend the money on an alignment.

The rear bushings don't go in super easy. I use a vise and they go in fine.

Agreed, I did my bushings at Nutty 5.0s and all i gotta say is the cleaner you can get the bushing tunnel the easier it will go in

For the rear diff bushings.....you are saying to use a vise for?

I used a vice if you mean the rear diff mount. If you mean the IRS bushings than use a c clamp. We found a ball joint C clamp worked great!

Yeah, I meant the rear diff bushing. But...for the subframe bushings, the ball joint c-clapm press tool works????? Hell yeah, I've got one of those.
