Rear Knuckle bushings - source (pic attached)
I can't find anyone who can tell me what ADUS or other bushing I can get for the rear knuckle... I've emailed this pic around w/o any luck. Any ideas ?
I have found a couple of people of sell ADUS bushings but can't figure out which one I need.
thanks !

(90-94) ADUS 583
Rear Axle Carrier
& Lateral Arm Kit
Kits Per Car = 2
http://www.foreignautosalvage.com/bushings.htme This is the bush you want. For some reason they only sell the inner and outer kit as one. I found i only needed the outer bush. The old bush will push out with a large socket and large bearing pushing tool. Hope this helps. I gather you have changed the carrier bush. Also you will need to align the rear after as mine was out 15 degrees.

thanks, I looked that that one. Does it press into the knuckle (#2 in my pic) ?
the only other bush I replaced in the rear so far is #9 in my pic - rear carrier bush ? I just ordered bushing #10 from the dealer.
Adus is calling it the "Rear Axle Carrier & lateral arm kit" so I think that takes care of both ends so maybe I don't need #10 from the dealer after all.
So, I guess my question is...
the "Rear Axle carrier" the same as the "Knuckle" in my pic ?
Many thanks, you're the only lead I have !!

Yes, that is the Rear Axle carrier bushing...I just ordered my set from Ebay for 65$ shipped 2nd day air.

^Has the tutorial on how to replace the bushings....fairly simple if you have a 33mm punch...I plan on doing these when I change my rotors/pads, might as well while I'm in there.
I'm 99% sure that is what you're looking for...maybe one of the Lexperts can chime in.

I think that's a different one, #9 in the pic (diff ADUS # too)
I need that one that presses into the knuckle # 3 in the pic. Hoping that's the ADUS #583 which looks like it covers both ends of the control arm (arm and knuckle)...
thanks,
Bob

that's ok, you proved my point !!
this gets confusing with the different names people use for each component. I think I might take my diagram and put the ADUS parts numbers next to each part which will help everyone...

Last one. Hope you all found these helpfull. I think people tend to forget this rear joint and test it. After doing both sides i found that the car felt a lot tighter and well worth doing.
