I have been rebuilding the front suspension and have hit a snag. I thought the pantera arm bushings were like the ferrari 308s where the guts could be removed and the sleeve retained, and a poly bushing inserted. I believe Energy Suspension is the maker of the bushings. Is this an option or does the outer sleeve need to be cut and pushed out? If that is the case is there a shop/vendor that does that and maybe adds a zerk fitting. I want to say I used to see an advertisement in Profiles or Poca but I can’t find it.

Below is a pick of what I used for the 308 from the Birdman308 website. Thanks.

A less intrusive method is to use a hack saw. With the a-arm in a vise, take the blade off the saw and thread it through the bushing. Then saw a straight line until the bushing starts to collapse on itself. You can feel the bushing start to press on the side of the blade. Use a chisel or screw driver to drive out the bushing. It still scars the a-arm but the damage is minimal.

To save time you can start with a sawzall and then switch to hack saw near the end.
