How to change castor bushes in 100 series?

Post by mike_nofx »

Hi all. Am looking to change my castor bushes to correct for a 3" lift.
I am thinking of just getting some 3 degree bushes Like this:

How easy are they to replace my current bushes?
Is it possible to do it all at home, or is a press a must? can you press in the new bushes with a bench vice?

Thanks
Mike

Hey buddy

A press is needed, when it comes to steering and castor etc etc. I personally wouldnt have a go without the proper equipment, especially for the price it costs to have them fitted. I recon do it properly do it once.

I dont know if the vice would have the omppphhh to press them in. (currect me if im wrong)

no chance doing it yourself.
i use a 20 ton press to get out the old bushes and they go off with a bang.
a vice won't press them in either.
