Subject:1985 Vanagon - Upper suspension are/wishbone bushings at spindle
From:AAG - Larry Word
Date:Mon, 8 Oct 2007 12:46:08 -0400

I've never replaced such before...Can this be done at home with normal, non-press, tools or do I need to remove entire assembly and take it to a machine shop and have then put in these bushings?

What's involved with this R & R and how far do I need to go?
Do I need to inspect and replace other related parts(ALL are OLD?): 
-radius rod rubber/bushings
-anti-roll bar bushing(s)
Typical tie rods, balljoints, etc. I can handle and have replaced before.

Thanks in advance for info.
If you have article from archives/websites, please forward info. and/or advise.
