  Q: How to replace the lower control arm bushings on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  You should get these tools ready for replacing the lower Control Arm bushings: be sure to have bushing installer (J 21474), Control Arm Bushing service set (J 21474-01), Control Arm Bushing installer (J 21474-13), bushing installer (J 21474-2), puller bolt (J 21474-27), nut (J 21474-4), high pressure lubricant (j 2344 commence by taking off the lower Control Arm and putting it safely in a vice. Use a pen or marker to put a line along the bushing flange edge of the lower Control Arm. Put j 23444-a on j 21474-27's threads, and after that, assemble the bushing removal tools: before you take apart the tools, make sure the j 21474-4 is tightly turned. Make sure the lower Control Arm vertical bushing is in place exactly as it was before so the vehicle handles well. Make sure the flat edge of the bushing flange is at the mark you made on the Control Arm, set it 30 degrees from the vehicle's center, and make sure the thin slot points away from the vehicle. Insert the bushing into the Control Arm; put j 23444-a on the threads of j 21474-27, and assemble the following installation tools: j 21474-27, j 21474-13, j 21474-2, and j 21474-4 are used, then tighten j 21474-4 and disassemble the tools before putting the lower Control Arm back on.

  Q: What tools are required to service and repair the control arm bushing in the front suspension on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  The necessary tools for front suspension Control Arm Bushing service and repair include Control Arm Bushing service set (J 21474-01) alongside puller bolt (J 21474-27) and bushing installer (J 21474) and driven sprocket support bearing installer (J 34126) as well as front knuckle support (J 35379) and nut (J 21474-4). From Control Arm Bushing service set (J 21474-01) to nut (J 21474-4) the following tools are necessary for Control Arm Bushing service tasks. These include puller bolt (J 21474-27) bushing installer (J 21474) driven sprocket support bearing installer (J 34126) front knuckle support (J 35379). The next step requires installation of the lower Control Arm into a vice for secure maintenance. Trace a line on the lower Control Arm which runs along its bushing flange flat edge. Join j 23444-a (or an equivalent high pressure lubricant) to the threads of the puller bolt (J 21474-27). Position all extraction tools with puller bolt (J 21474-27), j 41014-1, driven sprocket support bearing installer (J 34126), front knuckle support (J 35379) and bushing installer (J 21474-02) before attaching the nut (J 21474-4). Clamp the nut (J 21474-4) to loosen the assembly tools from the parts. The desired alignment of the lower Control Arm vertical bushing during installation reinstalls the vehicle's native ride quality together with handling characteristics and road feedback. Next position the bushing flange flat edge along the Control Arm mark so it develops a 30-degree angle from the centerline facing outboard. Position the bushing into the Control Arm while using j 23444-a (an equivalent lubricant to J 23444-A) applied to the puller bolt's threads (J 21474-27). Use these tools: puller bolt (J 21474-27), j 41014-1, bushing installer (J 21474-5), and nut (J 21474-4). When ready, tighten the nut (J 21474-4) and remove the tools to install the lower Control Arm afterward.
