the front bushings just need a big like i think it was 28mm impact socket and a hammer. harbor frieght has what you need for 15 dollars, or any auto parts store they carry these individual sockets for doing axles.

besides wheel hop, what are the other tattle tale signs of this bushing goin bad? Yesterday I was headed up to palmdale with the wife and we had the interior vent on with no a/c. After climbing up 2500ft and going through a bunch of small hills on the road I noticed what smelt like gear oil. I pulled the car over to the side of the hwy and noticed that I had black streaks across the diff. It didn't look like diff fluid. I checked the diff and trans to see if anything had leaked out and nothing....just looked the same as the picture on pg 1 of this discussion. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

that would be the silicone oil in the bushing congratulations you need to pull your diff and replace it i see your in riverside do you have an air compressor at home?

Edit: shot you a PM if you're interested get back to me about it and we'll talk about my beer fee.

Can someone help me out. I recently replaced the bushings on my 08 G sedan. Put everything back together and tightened the axle flange bolts, however there's no way I can get my torque wrench in there, so my question is, how are you guys torquing down those bolts?

Unless your talking engine, I think tq specs are over rated, never use them my entire life, just common sense and do not over tighten stuff and ruin threads and nuts. Good old bicep torque wrench hasn't failed me yet. Flame away.

If the torque specification is above 140 ft/lbs, I use the bicep and rectum muscle indicator .... you strain with bicep until you fart and that is tight enough.

For < 140 ft/lbs, bicep alone is sufficient.

from a more technical aspect, if there is something to hold the fastener lick a lock nut or washer, or threadlocker, i don't care as much, if it's non critical like fender bolts, i don't care as much. If i'm getting paid to do something though i torque everything.

Used a 3/8th torque wrench and a friend with a regular wrench/spanner. I think we either used a wobbly socket or a UJ.

Is this what I think it is? I have a 2010 so no longer under warranty I'm guessing?
