IRS Urethane Bushings?

[davideast]

How do you get the old bushings out? I have a vert, not sure if it is different than the coupe. I've heard that you have to remove a IRS support bracket and jack up the IRS. I'm not sure which bracket they are talking about.

Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

"You must remove the IRS bracing [first]. As in the two end nuts and remove."

[It is] the cross brace that bolts to the housing." Use an impact wrench and some PB Blaster Pentrating Oil to remove the bolts.


Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

Notes:
1. Use a lift, if possible.
2. Use a 6" extension bar to remove the bushings.
3. Replace one bushing at a time.

Do these bushings reduce or eliminate the wheel-hop I experience every time the tires spin?
