2008 Chevrolet Aveo Control Arm Bushing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front lower control arm bushing on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Start the front lower Control Arm Bushing replacement process with these tools: ch-48358 front Control Arm rear bushing replacer (CH-48358) and km-158 remover/installer (KM-158) and km-307-b removal plate (KM-307-B) and km-508-a Control Arm Bushing remover/installer (KM-508-A). Four essential tools needed for front lower Control Arm Bushing replacement include ch-48358 front Control Arm rear bushing replacer (CH-48358), km-158 remover/installer (KM-158), km-307-b removal plate (KM-307-B), and km-508-a Control Arm Bushing remover/installer (KM-508-A). Start the replacement process by taking off the front lower Control Arm assembly. Record where the arrow faces on the rear bushing versus the Control Arm's dot while noting which direction the front bushing's pluses point toward on the Control Arm. The ch-48358 kit uses a ch-48358-2 adapter on a press to install the Control Arm assembly by aligning the rear bushing correctly. Using the press, install ch-48358-1 into the rear bushing hole while cleaning away any dirt or burrs from the hole. Place the km-307-b on a press while using the km-508-a kit to mount the km-508-4 on the km-307-b. Insert the Control Arm assembly onto the km-508-4 before placing the front Control Arm front bushing in position. When working with km-158-5 from km-158 apply it on the front bushing then use a press to remove it. When performing assembly locate the ch-48358-4 on your press and guide the Control Arm onto position ensuring that the arrow mark on the replacement rear bushing points at the dot on the Control Arm. The installation of the new rear bushing requires the ch-48358-3 tool which positions the bushing correctly. Set the km-307-b on a press and mount the km-508-4 followed by the Control Arm placement on the km-508-4. Use the km-508-2 on the Control Arm to apply lubrication to the front bushing outside and the front bushing hole inside before aligning the front bushing to the plus signs. As the last step install the km-508-3 onto the front bushing using the press to position it correctly before reinstalling the front lower Control Arm assembly.
