The current bushings are only about 3 yrs old and not damaged, but you can see the rubber deflecting at rest.

You're welcome.

If they're rusted you might have to hacksaw the sleeve to release the OE bushing. Mine pressed right out, but the X has never seen snow.

You may want the 12 ton HF puller for this job ($15 more), the 5 ton was near its limit.

Read post #3602 for installing the Powerflex bushings.
