Body Bushings
Am in desperate need of replacing my body mount bushings. It is scheduled in the very near future but my question to those of you who have done this procedure is. Can they be replaced one side at a time or would that be placing too much stress on the body. Is this going to be a major undertaking or what? Your input would be most appreciated

Re: Body Bushings (Armstrong)
To answer your question, no, you can't just jack up one side. To get a tseveral of the bushings ( #3 i think) u have to jack the body up. TYou might could do 1,2, and 4 with out toomuch hastle. There is just too much attaching between the frame and chassis for this to be "easy" like grounding straps, shifter, seat belt cable, steering coupler, heater hoses, radiator supports, bumper supports, frame extensions, etc...

Re: Body Bushings (Armstrong)
Sounds like I got my work cut out for me then. Don't plan on doing a frame off resto but these body mounts are getting replaced. Guess we'll see what happens when that time comes. Is there a place that anyone has found that has documented this procedure before to kind of give some insight as to how crazy this is actually going to get?
