Topic: Replace Track Bar Bushings

  The rubber bushings (P/N 51A-18197) that go into my rear track bar on my 46 Coupe are worn and need replacing. My question is do the replacements need to be pressed into the bar or will they set themselved through tightening the nut? Thanks.

  They should be captured by the brackets. If they resist installation, give them a bath with silicone spray. Some of the repros may be outsize, but persistence should get them in place.

  Thank you very much. Hopefully the replacements will cooperate. In adition to these bushings, I suspect the front radius rod rubber ball bushing hasn't been changed so I may tackle that as well.

  The sway bar bushings are easy to replace. While you are at it you may as well replace both the front and rear bushings.
