Thread: Whats this bit called 1993 NJ Pajero

hey bud, I did my boy's a few months back but i bought the whole link kit with new rods/nuts/washers etc.
anyway.. just get some crc or something to soak into the threads while you're waiting for the bushes to arrive it'll help when you go to take them off, ours were a bit dry & rusty at the thread.
I used fencing pliers(vice grips or plumbers pliers will do too) to hold the bolt to stop it rotating while turning the last nut off with a socket, take a closeup pic to remember the washer orientation, they go on 1 way.. around the bush.. '( O )' not ') O ('.
You can compress the new bushes pretty hard before the nut bottoms out so when you're doing them back up just use your eyes.. if the bush starts do deform that's probably far enough, no need to crush/split them they need a little flex to work nice, you can always tweak them up a notch after a few days as they settle.
when you refit them, get both sides(left & right) captured before you tighten them up so you're not straining against the sway bar to line the other side up.
& while you're under there... check the gearbox mount bushes on the cross member. you have to peel the rubber dust flaps to the side to see them, ours were beyond gone & hidden out of sight.
i thought it'd be a 5 min job but took nearly an hour farting around on the driveway..
enjoy..
