trailing arm bushings PowerFlex Rear Trailing Arm Bushing PFR66-110 x2 $65.99
google powerflexusa for their site and order from them.
Are you getting the rosebush tool? The Harbor Freight one works well, but you do have to make a proper sized adapter. Made one with 1.25" tubing and welded on a cap. Not everyone can do this I imagine.
The spacer is installed on the bottom. The rear suspension comes out easily with those 4 bolts and the lower shock bolt.
I 1/2" impact wrench is very handy in doing this. I recommend an impact wrench with a set of metric impact sockets. You need 18mm, 22mm and others.
You do need a spring compressor to remove spring to install the spacer.
Measure the ride height according to the WIS and use that as a starting point in the rear.
with new bushings, and the spacers, and Konis, I ended up with the following after alignment:
I have Konis set on the upper perch with a .9" spacer and that gives me 610 MM in the rear for ride height. my rear camber is -.7 degrees right and -1.0 degrees left toe in is 1/16" on each side [1.6mm].
Wis says 1.7mm toe and 1.1 degrees of camber at 610mm so I am pretty much on....maybe slightly low on camber and toe.
the car handles great. this is not a wagon, but 2001 Aero Sedan.
