Control arm bushings
#2
The bushings at the rear aren't too bad. Support the frame on jack stands, remove the cotter pins and nuts from the control arms, pull the axle forward, replace the bushings and pull the axle back.
The C bushings are tougher. You have to remove the front coils, then remove the 4 bolts that hold the front cap on over the C bushings. Replace the C bushings and bolt the cap back on. The problem is getting the new bushings compressed enough to get the bolts started and then getting the bolts tightened. It's a royal pain.
