2000 Chevrolet Malibu Control Arm Bushing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the control arm bushing on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: First remove the lower Control Arm from its position then maintain it inside a vice through secure retention. The threads of j 21474-19 (Nut) need to receive an application of j 23444 a (or an equivalent high pressure lubricant). Begin the tool assembly process with j 21474-19 (Nut) alongside the remover/installer from the j 41397 (Lower Control Arm Bushings Remover/Installer) and the receiver from the j 41397 and j 21474-18. Use j 21474-18 to achieve front bushing removal from the Control Arm before disassembling all tools. The assembly of bushing removal tools includes j 21474-27 along with its j 41211 (Front Control Arm Bushing Kit) remover/installer and j 41211 receiver and j 21474-4. Use j 21474-27 to tighten the receiver while removing the rear bushing from the Control Arm before disassembling all tools. For assembly install the rear bushing into the Control Arm after applying j 23444 a (or equivalent high pressure lubricant) to threads of j 21474-27. Initialize the bushing installation tools with j 21474-27 and the receiver/installer from j 41211 together with the receiver from j 41211 and j 21474-4. When the rear bushing seats within the Control Arm fully tighten j 21474-4 and remove all tools. The front bushing's outer casing receives lubrication before insertion into the Control Arm. Bushings receive installation tools that include j 21474-19 combined with j 41397's remover/installer alongside its receiver and j 21474-18. Use j 21474-19 to tighten it across the front bushing until the Control Arm fully receives the bushing. Then remove both tools. After completion install the lower Control Arm.
