Hi all, recently I purchased this maxima and I've been slowly trying to bring it up to an acceptable level. When I got the car there was a weird tug to the right when I accelerated. I looked behind the wheel un the right side of the car and didn't see any noticeable issues (nothing broken) and when I came on here I saw a thread with someone having a similar issue and people saying to replace the bushings.

Basically how difficult is it to press out the old bushings and to install the new ones. I plan to do this at my house so need to know what tools I'll need. Any help would be appreciated!

 

The difficulty isn't so bad on a 1-10, 10 being very difficult, IMO I would rate it a 4. If you can take off your struts and install other suspension components you should be fine. BTW Energy suspension makes nice bushings for a good price.

 

Not worth the time, buy new control arms, you get new bushings and the ball joint.
15 - 20 min. per side, your done!

 

allignment?

 

without power/air tools it WILL take longer than 15-20 minutes per side. also as you take the bolts out that hold the control arms in place,mark where they go, because they are different lengths and that matters when they are put back. if the swaybar links aren't like new, they can be a pita. overall not a hard job. of course the right tools make the job easier.
