Hey guys,

I have removed my control arms and burnt out the bushing pins. Now there is a bunch of left over rubber in the bushing hole and I was wondering what you guys recommend as the best way to clean it out before pushing my energy suspension poly bushings in there? Should i burn it out completely? Or use some brush attachment with a drill?

cheers for input!Marko

yea i think i found an article and burnt them out until just a light layer of rubber was left, then i used a dremel with a stone bit and scrubbed that off and got a clean surface.

cheers
