When replacing the upper control arms, many people forget about the axle housing bushings. These mount on the axle housing itself, and if they are worn out, you will not get optimum performance. Today, we're going to show you how to install them on our 2001 Mustang Bullitt.

Thanks for the heads up on the axle bushing tool.
It's a lifesaver
@@cjponypartsI’ve broken this tool 3 times and can’t get the bushing to push in fully.
Tools great. Too bad the bolt and nut that come with it are made out of cheap brass that strips out after pulling one bushing out
This process is a major pain in the ass. They make it look very easy in the video with air tools. If you have a Panhard Bar and you want to try this in the driveway on your back, I wouldn’t even attempt it. . Take it from me. 8 hours for just the passenger side only.
Were you using the tool they showed? I am pretty cheap, but decided to just buy it or else I could see myself spending an entire day on this.
You can tell that mustang was not from where things really rust. Lol
My reason for searching for vids was to see if the rear end needed to be dropped. I'd think dropping it would be much easier to remove the bushing and put in if you did not have the tool.
Took me like 3-4 hours to get only one side out then when installing the new one the threads on the bolt stripped. Went to Lowe’s for a new bolt but of course they didn’t have that size. Had to go to a hardware store but no more day light left. Have to do the other side another day. Ugh. Oh by the way the exhaust will have to be dropped
what is the part number for the bushings?
Can you do a video for the 05-14 mustangs?
I imagine the process is essentially identical. Both use the 8.8 rear-ends and have nearly identical lay-outs. I'm fine with this video working on my own 06 mustang using this for reference.
*Just did my rear diff (99 gt)... that rusted sway bar is a bitch!*
My oil fill cap is rusted stuck too.
Im assuming this tool can be used to replace the rubber inner bushing with the sleeve already in the upper housing?
Did you put grease on the busings? If so what type of grease? And do you not have to use those clips and the modifier at all?
Why my 2000 v6 mustang rise up from rear diff when i get it on revers gear or drive gear?
I plan to rebuild my stock upper control arms. Can this tool be used to remove the bushings on the body side of the UCA just like on the axle side? Thanks in advance.
+CoffeeDrinker71 There is no bushing pressed in the body side, its part of the control arm.
+Bill Tumas Correct, I meant can this tool be used to remove the bushing that is pressed into the UCA? This video shows it being used to remove the bushings pressed into the axle, but when you remove the UCA there are bushings in the UCA itself. I would like to change those out as well. I'm keeping the stock UCA's.
i wish someone had a vid on how to change rear axle bushing on 2014 stang i have the all metal bushing i do not like it cuz its rattling
Marcus Coker same problem bro , did you figure it out
Crap and I just bought a spherical bearing for my 14 gt500. Whelp hope the noise from the watts link covers it up
The threads on the bolt stripped installing only one bushing.
I wonder if this tool can be rented. I mean you’re not gonna use it often just for this.
no rental that i know of.. i used my a ball joint press looks like a mega C clamp .
no way hell is it possible to use a block of wood and hammer to install these like video says...
@@codyramos3200 yeah I agree with you. I’ve used a ball joint press to remove ball joints. Haven’t tackled this yet. Wonder if after using it can it be returned...
@@sergiomurillo9930 probably not.. the tool gets a little roughed up when using it ... those bushings are pressed in the diff super tight. when i did bushings on my 96 gt i tried to use a 3lb hammer n a large cold chisel an didnt do much other than destroy the old bushing along with my shoulder ..in a time crunch i used my harbor freight ball joint press an it popped out with way less effort ...still kinda a b1tch trying to hold up the press and cups and tighten everything .. duct tape helped to hold the cups together while tightening the press if you get someone to help you it wont be to hard to do im always solo when i need to work on my car ... my exhaust is dumped right before the axle so that gave some extra room .. its not a super hard job but it can be a little difficult without a tool to press bushing out/in
Bill, does CJ'S sell that amazing tool? If so, what's the part number. Thanks for all of these videos. Yall are awesome .
+Robert Bryant Yes sir I said the part number right in the video ABT
What type of grease did you use?
Universal chassis grease.
I couldn't even get the bolt off the control arm. I tired it with a 250 ft-lb impact wrench and still a no go.
Bigger impact
@@TanCalHan I took my old impact back for a refund. Will get a 1000-ft-lb and try again when warm weather returns.
@@redfirefox3568 i used a blow torch to heat up the bolts broke lose after
What if I just need the shell part?
#pinionseal!
Is it the same process for a 06 mustang GT?
Yes the process is the same, the bearings are different. -Bill
