Amjad Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If it's the ALK one (rear?), I cut through it with a grinder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 ^ as above Cut it then whack it with a hammer to loosen it you'll see like a crack appear along where you've made the cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If your reffering to the main bush on the wishbone, then use a hack saw, put a cut in it and pop it out.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
QUADLIGHT GT Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 thnks for your comments my bad.. i'm actually referring to the both wishbone bushes actually..ive had the both bushes removed from a garagebushes removed- now i jus need to know if i pop the front bush ring out to remove the (thin rubber with ring around it)will i need to reuse this again after i have the wishbones powder-coated ??or can i buy some new ones from ??

Asad Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You can get rid of it all, EXCEPT the round/halfmoon shaped washer for the rear of the wishbone you will need this when putting the antilift kit on....assuming you are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 yeah you can remove all of the front one (cylinder bush) and keep the crush tube on and the washers in a safe place....ask them not to coat the crush tube tho seems best if you dont and your good to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
