Any one use Z1 rear diff bushings tool

Zat_Zuma · 07-14-2017, 12:39 PM

The shop used mine and it saved me a few hours of labor cost.

The feedback I received was it worked ok coming out but not so easy on putting the new bushing in. I used a Energy Suspension bushing I had. Other replacement bushings may have different results.

The original OEM bushing looks so new out of the car, its freaky.

The 1st part of the tool, ripping the guts out, was pretty straight forward and works well. Removing the bushing was hell. It took 2 of us taking turns with the tool. Now there may be a couple of issues that made it a bit more difficult with the first being we did this with the car on jackstands. I believe if we had more height and more leverage it may have been easier. The second issue was the car was a 2009 and the undercarriage had seen better days.

Since I had the rear wheels off the car what we ended up doing was 1 guy "ratcheting" and the other using leg power. Leg day for all!
