Review on Moog K80668 Trailing Arm Bushing by Tony Ledbetter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Trailing Arm Installation Tips

Looks like a good item. Helps improve vehicle handling. I discovered something: a press is not needed to remove the old bushings. Before removing, mark the 6 o'clock position on the old bushings. Use a hacksaw or jigsaw to cut the key out of the bushing. Do not cut the trailing arm and make sure the ABS and parking brake are not in the line of fire. I learned that the hard way on the ABS line. In any case, after cutting the wedge, they will fall out with a few hits of the brass hammer. To reinstall, highlight 6 o'clock on the new hub so you have a tick. Place them in the freezer for several hours. While they are in the freezer, use a cloth to remove any rust or burrs from the trailing arm. Quickly align the marks and tap the bushings with a brass mallet. Adding heat to the trailing arm would also help, but it wasn't necessary on mine. Hope that helps.

Pros
