  Q: How to replace the rear axle lower control arm bushing on Chevrolet Aveo?

  A:

  In order to replace the rear axle lower Control Arm Bushing, start by raising and supporting the vehicle correctly. Lift up the rear axle and attach it to a workbench. Warm the area of the bushings in the rear axle, on the rear axle, to about 50-75° c (122-158° F) using an industrial hot air dryer. Mount the housing onto the rear axle using rear Control Arm Bushing servicing set ( J 29376-A). Use the Control Arm Bushing set j 21474-01 and the rear Control Arm Bushing servicing set (J 29376-A) to do the following: put the screw assembly (J 21474-19) through the bushing remover (J 29376-6-A), rear Control Arm Bushing, and finally put the receiver cap (J 29376-7). Place the long nut (J 21474-18) onto the screw assembly (J 21474-19) assembly and rotate screw assembly (J 21474-19) to partially remove bushing while being held by bushing (J 21381-19). Carefully remove the bushing by striking the bushing remover (J 29376-6-A) with the remover/installer (KM-266-A). In assembly, locate the housing on a rear axle using rear Control Arm Bushing servicing set (J 29376-A) and Control Arm Bushing set (J 21474-01). Slide the screw assembly (J 21474-19), through the thrust washer, then through the receiver cap(J 29376-7), the bushing, and the bushing installer (J 29376-6-A). Mount the long nut (j 21474-18) and turn while constraining the screw assembly (J 21474-19) with a bushing angle of 45 degrees (a) to the axis of the rear axle. The last step has been to install the rear axle and bring the vehicle down.

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

  A:

  You will need various tools to replace the front lower control arm bushing: Front Control Arm Rear Bushing Replacer (CH-48358), Remover/Installer (KM-158), Removal Plate (KM-307-B), Control Arm Bushing Remover/Installer (KM-508-A). The necessary replacement tools for front control arm bushings are a Front Control Arm Rear Bushing Replacer (CH-48358), Remover/Installer (KM-158), Removal Plate (KM-307-B), and Control Arm Bushing Remover/Installer (KM-508-A). Start by taking off the front lower control arm assembly and write down where the arrow marks the rear bushing in relation to the arm's dot stamp along with how the front bushing has its plus signs. Follow the CH-48358 kit procedure by mounting CH-48358-2 to a press and installing the control arm assembly into position followed by aligning the rear bushing correctly on CH-48358-2. You should now place the CH-48358-1 component on the front control arm rear bushing followed by using the press to remove the bushing. Place the KM-307-B on a press before cleaning the rear bushing hole from any present dirt or burrs. Next put the KM-508-4 from the KM-508-A kit onto the KM-307-B while placing the control arm assembly onto the press for alignment with the front bushing. Put the KM-158-5 component from the KM-158 kit on the front bushing before pressing it out using the kit. The CH-48358-4 must be placed on the press followed by the control arm positioning itself on the tool. Next align the arrow on the rear bushing with the dot on the control arm and install the fresh rear bushing into place. Install the rear bushing with the CH-48358-3 then place the KM-307-B on a press and set in position the KM-508-4 which will accept the control arm with the final attachment of the KM-508-2. Apply lubrication to both the front bushing exterior and its internal hole before positioning it into the KM-508-2 so the front bushing faces the control arm with its plus signs in alignment. Install the KM-508-3 onto your front bushing and operate the press until the bushing is correctly positioned before you reattach the front lower control arm assembly.
