Thread: Rack and pinion bushings

I'm ready to work on my suspension, now the problem is, I can't find or I can't think a way to change these bushings without removing the transmission. At least the one on the driver side which is the one that is broken. There is no space. May be if I unbolt the rear motor mount and the trany mount in order to move the trany a little to make space?

There is any way to do this without removing the transmission? I need to know how, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

bump!

I did mine with the motor out and all of the lines removed and it was still somewhat of a pain. All i can tell you is take out anything you can to get to them. Take off the bolts and the brackets, then wiggle the old bushings out, then lube the new ones and slide them in. I am not sure how easy it will be with the motor in, you might want to take off the cross member and rock the motor forward a little to gain better access.

Thanks for your response. Well, I did it yesterday, it was a PITA, but I did it without removing the trany. Removing the trany mount, cross member and lowering the engine a little a was able to do it.

I saw your post earlier and i did not want to post since i did not do it with the motor still in the car. But since no one posted i thought i would through in some info.

Im glad you got it done, did you notice a difference?
