You make the joy look easy. Great job on this education video. This is the exact job I must do on our 2006 Chevy Aveo5 Hatchback! Big thank you to spend the time to video the job in detail.

Glenn Collins thanks, appreciate it. I couldn’t find a video, or even a written/pictoral how-to. Most of the videos of other cars getting this job done were done on hoists so I really wanted to see if I could this at home with no special tools, and also show others that they can do it too. I know I cheated a bit by using a 2-piece poly bushing but it was really satisfying to not have to press new ones in.

@@416diy I'm in the middle of doing this job now. everything went well until I got at the trailing arm bushing removal. The rubber bushing came out easily, however, the metal sleeve is quite another! with a chisel is challenging. I have a complete set of Ball Joint Kit in two storage cases. Can I use this to remove & install new OEM metal-sleeved bushing?

Glenn Collins if you’ve got the rubber out you’ve done the hardest part. If you can get your hands on a hacksaw or a reciprocating saw you should be able to saw through that sleeve without much trouble, might just take some time. The problem with the car I worked on was the metal sleeves had mostly rusted away, so the bushing was starting to slide out of position, but the rubber was still decent for its age. Good luck!

I think I grabbed them from a 3rd party seller on Amazon, but if they’re not there anymore they’re still on eBay or you can get them direct from Whiteline.

What was it doing to let you know that it needed replaced?

Craig Eldridge hd a lot of banging noises in the back, especially with a full hatch. Shocks were already replaced and the springs were good so we took a look at the axle bushings and could see they were coming apart. The bushing rubber wasn’t horrible but the metal sleeves were rotting badly as you can see in the videos, which was causing them to move out of place, sagging toward the centre of the car. Turned out to be a fun job to do, especially with the 2-piece replacement bushing. All things I probably should’ve discussed in the video ;)

416 DIY I was curious. My beater isn’t doing that. It like turns when I hit bumps. It might be because it had a shock bushing go out in the drivers side and so I replaced the shock and bushing with one from a junk yard and now the other side is what does it. I mean before I put a shock in it, it would bounced for like 200 feet after every bump.

Craig Eldridge sounds like it needs a new pair of front shocks and an alignment.
