At this point I thought I was just replacing suspension bushings.

Dropping rear lower control arm.

What's that? How nice a broken spring! Looks like I'm getting coilovers!

The bushings were pretty crusty..

I was able to remove this one with a ball joint press.
Tried to burn this one out, fire didn't seem to help as much as I thought it would. It sure looks silly though!

Got one out!

Rusty!

Grinding the rust off.

Paint!

Pretty control arms :)

The big trailing arm bushing proved to be problematic, more on that shortly.

Aubrey's got no control arms!

Ended up getting a press which was handy for some of these smaller bushings and MANDATORY for the big bushings.

Big trailing arm bushing attempt 1.

Attempt 1 was a failure!

Welding in a support.

Now it won't bend!
Was so stoked this worked, it was pretty scary when it finally popped though ha!




Evidently I didn't take too many pictures installing the new bushings or coilovers. Aubrey handles fantastic now though! :)
