My polyurethane bushings have finally arrived. Is there anything I should watch out for when installing these? I'm hoping to get at it this weekend if it isn't -40 out. Exam week is just wrapping up so I get friday off(my headers are supposed to arrive friday aswell!).
The mechanic I bought the parts from said that it would be a good idea to cut a piece of angle iron to fit in between the a arms so that when I push the bushings in nothing gets mangled. This makes sense to me. I will most likely end up taking the a arms to my highschool shop and using a hydraulic press to put them in. There should be some scrap angle iron I can use there aswell.
Is there anything else I should watch out for? I'm doing the rear leaf springs and front suspension all in polyuerethane.
BTW, this is for a 1974 Nova SS. It has power steering, no pump. I'm not sure if there's anything else I might need to add.
Thanks,
Luke
