FightsFires Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hello, this is my first post here. I have a 2013 dj rt, and my rear tires are dangerously worn on the inner quarter of the tires. I took it to dodge today and they found rear toe link bushings are no good along with one trailer arm bushing. I attempted to replaced the passenger side toe link to find that I cannot remove the special adjustment bolt at the back of the toe link, is there a special method for removing them? I've read elsewhere that people cut them out, I'm hoping I don't have to do that. Also, I bought the bushing for the trailer arm, but haven't attempted it yet . am I going to need to press the old bushing out or is it a bolt in type ? Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightsFires Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Looks like 100$ is pretty much standard for the toe links together.. And about 175$ to install them. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanical-idiot Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Does anyone have a video on how to install the rear lower toe links? I have to get one replaced as well. I won't be doing it myself, but I find it interesting to watch what is being done to the vehicle, but I don't want to stand over a mechanics shoulder. Nothing on YouTube.

FightsFires Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi there, I did them myself with the help of a friend. You have to take out the bolt closest to the wheel with a breaker bar, and then cut the toe link off of the stainless steel adjustable bolt with a torch and also cut out the bolt with the torch. There's no other way to do it as far as I know because the stainless bolt welds itself to the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanical-idiot Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 This sounds like a great job for someone who knows what they are doing! I am instantly excluded from that group. Thanks mechanical-idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
