(12) Place Receiver, Special Tool 8405-1, on Press,
Special Tool C-4212F, and tighten the set screw (Fig.
21).
(13) Place the special tool assembly over the bush-
ing to be replaced as shown (Fig. 21). When properly
installed, the screw drive on the special tool will be
toward the center of the vehicle. Note the curve on
the axle trailing arm. This curve prevents the tool
from being properly installed in the opposite direc-
tion.
(14) Tighten the screw drive, pressing the bushing
out of the trailing arm into the receiver.
(15) Remove the tool and the bushing from the
trailing arm. Discard the used bushing.
(16) If the opposite side bushing needs to be
removed, repeat Step 11 through Step 15 on the
opposite bushing.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: To ease and attain proper installation of the
bushing using Special Tool 8405, use Mopar
T
Rub-
ber Bushing Installation Lube as indicated in the
following step.
(1) Apply Mopar
t
Rubber Bushing Installation
Lube to the outside edges of the NEW bushing. Also,
lubricate the inside of the Installer, Special Tool
8405-2 with the special lube.
(2) Place the stepped end of the Installer on the
end of the trailing arm bushing sleeve that has the
curved flange at the arm (Fig. 22).
(3) Place the lubricated bushing inside the large
opening in the Installer.
(4) Place the Press, Special Tool C-4212F, with
Receiver, Special Tool 8405-1, installed, over the arm,
Installer and bushing as shown (Fig. 22). When prop-
erly installed, the screw drive on the special tool will
be toward the center of the vehicle. Note the curve on
the axle trailing arm. This curve prevents the tool
from being properly installed in the opposite direc-
tion.
(5) Tighten the screw drive, pressing the bushing
into the trailing arm sleeve. Do not over-install the
bushing; the bushing can be pushed out the other
side, into the Receiver. Push the bushing in until
freed from the installer and centered in the trailing
arm sleeve. The outer lips of the bushing must hang
out past the end of the sleeve on each side of the
trailing arm.
(6) Remove the tools from the trailing arm.
(7) If the opposite side bushing needs to be
installed, repeat Step 1 through Step 6 on the oppo-
site side.
(8) Install the trailing arm forward bracket(s) on
the axle using the following way:
(a) From above the axle, place the bracket down
over the axle trailing arm bushing aligning the
hole in the bracket with the center hole in the
bushing (Fig. 15).
(b) From the outboard side of the axle and
bracket, push the thru-bolt through the bracket
and bushing. The trailing arm bracket thru-
bolts must be installed from the outside, in
toward the center of the axle assembly, other-
wise the bolt threaded ends will come in con-
tact with the body of the vehicle upon axle
installation on vehicle.
