under the rocker jack points or Kmember.
2. Remove both front wheels/tires.

radius rod. See Image 2.

8. Using a bushing removal tool or hydraulic press, remove the OE rubber bushing
and sleeve from the radius rod. See
Image 4.
9. Align the BMR polyurethane
bushing as shown in Image 5
below and press the new bushing
into place. Lube the inside of the
bushing and insert the center
sleeve. NOTE: due to the nature of
movement, it is important that the
bushing be installed correctly as
shown in the image below to
prevent pre-mature bushing wear
and suspension bind.
10. Re-install the radius rod duplicating the above steps. Tighten the inner mounting
bolt to 85 ft/lbs.
11. Install wheels/tires. Lower vehicle.
