Reply to "Rear A Arm Bushings"

The issue is that there isn't usually enough material on the shoulder of the a-arm to install a spacer/sleeve to put it on the press.

On the bushings, I ground the small steel shoulder off of them in order to get enough of a shoulder on the a-arm itself to press against.

The ball joint has a little more of a shoulder.

I believe that there were special spacers included in the "dealer Pantera special service tools" kit for this originally when the car was new?

I haven't seen a kit offered for sale in 20 years, if ever? Hard to remember at this point.

"Necessity is the mother of invention". Most of us winding up making special tools or jigs for what we need on these cars anyway.
