Just wrapped up a project on replacing front hub bearings. Left side was in need of replacement. And, of course, during one the ?while u r there? side projects, I saw that the left side lower shock bushing was deformed and slowly being destroyed.
Question: Is it possible to replace that lower bushing? I know it can be done on the rear shock, and of course the upper bushing.

I replaced the upper with urethane piece since OEM piece was flattened and breaking up. However, lower piece didn?t look bad and left it alone. I think lower can be replaced but may need to be shaved as needed to keep the gear on the shock to planatery gear in the actuator dimensional relationship.

Appreciate the response SC but I was asking about the bushing for the shock
mount that attaches to the lower A arm.
