Ok after waiting almost 2 months for my bushing rebuild kit I have it.
I was wondering how tight you set the rebuildable joints?
The kit came with no instructions so I put the snap ring side to gether then just snugged up the other side with the tool provided...
Anyone know how tight you are suppose to make these when putting them back together?

I have a procomp stage II kit

 

No body has rebuilt a flex joint on a Control Arm?

 

Virtual beer to anyone who knows

 

is it safe to assume that the opposite side of the bushing has a lock ring that screws on and that you're wondering how tight to make it? if so, you'll want it tight enough so that the spherical joint is somewhat tough to rotate around but not overly so.

 

Thanks WOL yes one side is a flat washer held in with a snap ring and the other side screws in and sets with a small allen head screw.
So just tighten them until I need a screwdriver to move them around.. or just till it is hard to move it by hand..?
The screww in side looks just like this

 

being that you are basically making a new bushing, i would make it tight enough that a screwdriver is needed to rotate the joint around. trust me, it will loosen up fast once installed.

 

OK that is what I did when I installed them but only two are taking grease. I will run them alittle bit and see if that lossens them up a bit to take grease better.
Thanks Eddie!
