Tools Required

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Support the vehicle with a suitable jackstand under the axle.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Wheel Removal in Tires and Wheels.
4. If you remove the right bushings, disconnect the brake lines from the body. Refer to Rear Brake Hose Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes.
5. If you remove the left bushings, disconnect the brake line bracket from the body and the parking brake cable from the hook guide on the body. Refer to Rear Brake Hose Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes and Parking Brake Rear Cable Replacement - Right Side in Park Brakes.

Notice: Do not suspend rear axle by brake hoses. Damage to hoses could result.

6. Remove the bolt, washer and nut from the control arm.
7. Rotate the control arm downward in order to gain access to the bushings.

Remove and install 1 control arm bushing at a time.




8. Remove the bushing (1) from the control arm.

8.1.	Install the J 29376-1 into the slot in the control arm.

8.2.	Position the J 29376-1 over the control arm end/bushing.

8.3.	Install the J hooks through the J 29376-1 and J 29376-1 tighten the attaching nuts until the tool is securely in place.

8.4.	Install the J 21474-19 bolt through the plate J 29376-7 and install into the J 29376-6.

8.5.	Place the J 29376-7 remover into position on the bushing.

8.6.	Install the nut J 21474-18 onto the J 21474-19 bolt.

8.7.	Remove the bushing from the control arm by turning the bolt.

1. Install the bushing (1) as follows:

1.1.	Install the J 29376-1 receiver on the control arm.

1.2.	Install the J 21474-19 bolt through the J 29376-A plate and into the receiver.

1.3.	Install the bushing on the bolt and position into the housing. Align the bushing installer arrow with the arrow on the receiver for proper indexing of the bushing. A high-pressure lubricant such as J 23444-A may be necessary for assembly.

1.4.	Install J 21474-18 (3/8 in) nut onto the J 21474-19 (3/8 in) bolt.

1.5.	Press the bushing into the control arm by turning the bolt. When the bushing is in the proper position, the end flange will be flush against the face of the control arm.

Important: The washer and nut must be installed on the outboard side.

2. Align the control arm and the underbody attachment.
3. Loosely install the bolt, washer and nut to the control arm.
4. Install the brake line brackets and parking brake cable. Refer to Rear Brake Hose Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes and Parking Brake Rear Cable Replacement - Right Side in Park Brakes.
5. Install the brake lines to the body, if removed. Refer to Rear Brake Hose Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes.
6. Install the tire and the wheel assemblies. Refer to Wheel Installation in Tires and Wheels.
7. Remove the jackstand and lower the vehicle to curb height.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

8. Tighten the control arm nuts.

Tighten
Tighten the control arm nuts to 80 N·m (59 lb ft), plus  120 degrees rotation using J 36660-A .
