Just the video I needed - replacing my bushes today after watching this. Cheers
No worries mate
those bushing were still very good
I did this over the weekend ass well
Changed the whole rear springs out. What a C of a job!!!
Haha yeah a bit like that sometimes
Cheers for showing the whole process with some helpful commentary!
Thanks mate
@@CamshaftFM no worries if you happen to do your brake lines anytime soon that would be helpful also
im on me mums lappy, thanks for the vid no ginning around get in and get it done, saved me heaps of time,
cheers mate
Great vid cheers mate
You introduction music is like that malaysian new agency 'kinitv' / 'malaysia kini'.
I just replaced pins with greasable ones on my HZJ79. I did not use two jacks.
1) Jack up the rear pumper until the wheels barely lift off.
2) Put jack stands as high as they fit under the frame as in the video.
3) Lower the jack little by little until the jack stands are partially loaded.
4) Tweak the height of the jack until springs feel mostly unloaded and pins can be hammered and pried out semi-easily.
(When hammering pins, put the nuts on as not to hammer on the thread. Because I didn't trust all of this much, I did not lay under the car for the whole work.).
My pins were very dry even though the car has 8000 km.
Great clip mate very helpful how was the front wen you went to line it up for bolt to go in that’s my biggest worry!
Thanks mate. Yeah there is always a bit of fiddling around but it wasn’t to bad
Great vid, Mate. How do the greaseable pins work in the front of the springs, where the steel sleeve looks like it will keep the grease from entering the gap between the bushings and instead just push out either end?
Yeah that’s what I thought too but with out the steal insert it’s too loose. I don’t think it’s that important for the front ones as they don’t pivot as munch as the rears.
Like to ask, are 1 ment to pump greese into before doing final tightening.
Great video champ
Thanks mate and yes.
I've just had my rears done cause they were splitting, i've just done another 3000Ks lots of dirt and one of them is split again, any idea on a cause?, its OME sperings and shockies, replacement bushings were not OME
Not really sure mate could have been incorrect fitment Or the bushings could have been poor quality
Hey mate great vid. What shackels are they?
Thanks mate. Not sure they were on the Ute when I bought it
Did you use a torque wrench to do the nuts ? If so how tight please
No I didnt. you can probably find the torque value on the internet though.
Great vid cam. Did mine last week and your guidance was first class. Cheers. As an aside was wondering if you may be able to help me. My rear fuel tank won’t release fuel but the rest of the system is working fine. Any ideas mate. Cheers
Cheers mate. Might be a blockage in the hose or the electric valve that lets fuel flow from the back tank might not be working properly other than that I’m not too sure iv had no issues with my one.
Cheers mate

What are the red bushing benefits versus original bushing?
I personally think the blue super pro ones aren’t as good quality as the nolothane ones
Were the old rear bushings rubber or poly? If rubber, which do you prefer? I'm leaning towards an OEM rubber type because I don't want extra noise/vibration on my FJ62.
It would have originally had rubber but they were poly ones and I put poly ones in. I’d use poly ones they last longer and the noise and vibration difference would be so small you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference
Ok, thanks for the input. My only experience with a poly bushing was a poly motor mount in my old FWD car which only lasted about a week, too much feedback. It makes sense there would be much less in the leafs.
Hey brother where did you get bushings?
The Nolathane website
what's the brand of the new bushing
The brand is nolathane
I see something red coupe model there
The old Datsun?
