how did you know the bushings were bad?

[HighPoweredLasers]

@harkenallen  the insides of the rear tires were wearing out.

Why 2 pipe end caps? and not 2 small flat pieces of sheet metal?

[HighPoweredLasers]

@donkey330 You have to apply force and have some place for the busing to go. The caps just happen to work perfectly.

Well done. Excellent resourcefulness.

You forgot to preload the bushing!!

[veteran011]

just an fyi there's an "H" in bushing...  And i suggest using jack stands instead of hoping that the small jack will hold the car. better safe than sorry.

otherwise perfect video.

Thanks for sharing your excellent video on this subject. I love the functional tool that you made out of common everyday parts. Human innovation is so important because the real professional set of tools would have cost a few hundred dollars which is beyond the reach of most DIYers.
