Hello Everybody,
I simply put in Powerflex pressure arm bushings on my 2016 F23. It had about 80k miles when the inventory bushings began to leak and depart black spots on my storage ground. Backside line up entrance these are an enormous improve from inventory, though as soon as the bushings leak they get extraordinarily mushy so distinction from a brand new inventory wouldn’t be as vital for certain.
There are many movies / directions on line to do that, so not a lot worth in posting particulars of the process. I used this equipment to put in / take away the bushings:

This equipment has a number of totally different diameter items, so it might definitely be helpful for a lot of future jobs. The draw back of this equipment is that the cups aren’t as deep as the stress strut bushing, so I needed to press the busing till it bottomed within the cup, then lower it and press the remainder. Not an enormous deal, nevertheless it did take some further time.
Urgent the brand new bushings in with this software was tougher. In reality, if I might do it once more I might have purchased a reasonable 6 ton press at HF or on line to do the job. Urgent the brand new bushings in is just not tremendous straightforward with no press, however fairly attainable with this software when you do not need to purchase a press.
One thing I found when doing that is that my bump stops had virtually utterly disintegrated. The connected photograph is likely one of the bigger items of the left bump cease. The precise one was utterly disintegrated. Not lengthy after getting the automotive I put in AC Schnitzer springs and shorter bump stops with half quantity 31331138814. At any charge I ended up altering these too – need to say was not tremendous blissful to spend hours to exchange like $30 in components! So you probably have a lowered suspension with inventory peak struts, and have had it for a while it could be a good suggestion to test your bump stops once in a while.
