Upgrading the suspension of your GM car equipped with a triangulated four link from the factory is pretty straight ahead, right? Fresh control arms top and bottom, some sweet new springs, and yes, upgraded bushings all make a nice improvement on the performance and manners of your car on the road. It’s that last part that can really punch your ticket on the struggle bus during the project, though. The removal and installation of those bushings, especially the suckers on the top of the rear end housing can be arduous without the right tools. The good news is that Ridetech no only has the right tools, they make the thing and it will save you time, frustration, and many swear words.
Rather than bashing the old shells out by any means necessary, this threaded tool will nicely and evenly press the old ones out and by reversing the tool push the new ones in. No fuss, no muss, nothing needed other than a couple of basic hand tools.
Check out the tool in action below. If you are gearing up for a suspension upgrade, throw one of these babies into your shopping cart and you won’t regret it!
