Thread: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.23

Just a tip when you install the poly dogbones save yourself a headache and just cut the rubber out and shove the poly one in. I spent a while trying to pull the rubber piece out and didn't get it, sawzall fixed it right up.

A tip with the upper dogbone bushings. Reno e the brass bushing from the poly. Lube with wd40 pop them in the dogbones than the brass bushing. save you a hassle

As far as removal I just cut the rubber lip with a razor blade and used a punch to knock.out the old rubber mount

When you fixed this,
how?
and how has it held up
cause i just got a new bumper and its warped too

Lol I never did anything to fix it. I think it just went away, but I'll check it tomorrow.

Woww....
that would bug the shiz out of me

zip tie the back side, kinda like a clamp is what i did on my old 99

get a heat gun and soften it up keep playing around with it it will take time but its possible.... and a question how do you change your thread name like how you said pics added page 14 how did you do that?

go to the original post and edit, advanced edit or whatever, then just change the titleeeee

Double click right nexus. To the last letter of the title in the topics page
