Rear suspension arms bushing replacement

Hey all,

I've got an '04 GP with 195k on it. I've replaced the front control arms, F&R sway bar links, F&R sway bar bushings, and F&R strut/springs. I'm looking to tackle the rear arms soon. I know in replacing the front control arms it's simply easier to swap out the arms as they're cheap enough to just replace the whole thing. When it comes to the rear arms though it would appear it might be relatively easy to replace the bushings on all 6 arms then it would be to swap out all the arms coming from a cost-benefit perspective.

Not sure if i'm off on my assumption or if replacing those bushings is more complex. I would have access to a press and I've done press work before with bad bushings on different control arms, so I know it can go quick but again not sure what kind of trouble I might be getting myself into.

Let me know if anyone's had any experiences good or bad, thanks.
 


You'll probably want to replace the rear trailing arms anyway. Factory U channel arms are junk, and Dorman replacements are like $30/pair.
