Well this is the only part of the master kit that isnt actually suspension.
Ill just add the link from here when the others get done.
When i first installed the kit the shifting from Neutral to Second and Neutral to fourth were much stiffer. ( Think when you are shifting down you pass through neutral). I noticed no difference in getting out of said gears. The left and right movement is exactly the same as before.
So think of it as when i need to pull down to shift its harder everything else is the same.
BUT, after a few days of driving it seemed to work itself in and now the shifting feels easy again. The reduced vibrations are the only noticable change as of now.
Tools i used. - Flat tip screwdriver. 3/8 ratchet. 3/8 extension. 3/8 drive gator grip (Im lazy =]) Saw
Cresant wrench for the linkage bolt.
Your changing the bushings for..the rear....uhmm thing
and outter rod only . There will be two sets that can be used. One is for the Del Sol(Solid Concave piece) the other is for everything else( Two matching pieces)
I started with the rear armlike bushing first. Remove the two bolts and slide the bushing off of its arm. The bracket, bolts, and the little spacers inside the old bushing need to be reused.
Old and New. See those spacers I was talking about. They slide right out with a flat tip.
Reinstall in the reverse order. I used lube that came with my master kit, I dont know if it will do anything but hey why not.
Your working on the outter arm only dont forget. Just remove the bolt and it will drop out.
I used a saw to remove the old one.
You can see the two pieces used, there is also an spacer that is supplied that you put through the center. No reusing the old crap here.
They slide right in, perfect fit. No press needed.
Again I lubed them around the outside, inside and inbetween (two parts) . Again who knows if it will make a difference but they supplied the grease, why not
Rebolt and your done
