Default suspension help...

couln't really pick a forum to place this in, so any mods, feel free to move it.

my rear trailing arm bushings are done. I know that with out the special $150 tool they are a bitch to remove so u have to run all the rubber off. What if i just lower the trailing arm and fill them? would that be any good? what would be the best material to fill them with?

I was thinking about setting mine on fire with a torch then window welding them and bolting them in place but I don't think the same ---- we do to our engine mounts will last down there. Bump for experiences?

If you got the money..pay someone to. But its expensive....due to the time and parts being removed. I've torched a couple and hammered them out. You can also use polyurethane for roofs and window weld. They'll all do the same thing. This is hmt....not the pros. They all work.
