Next week im doing all the shocks, and this thing is seriously gonna ride like new!

Replace Upper Control Arm Bushings
http://www.bleepinjeep.com/ - All the best Off-road videos of YouTube in one spot without all the boring stuff - Updated Daily!!
In this video I'll show you how to remove your upper control arm bushings from the axle... this is a dana 30 axle but it should be the same on a dana44 and similar on many other axles. Then we will install the UCA bushing but with a twist... I've decided to try and install the rubicon express retrofit bushings instead, (these were not intended for this purpose so don't try this at home). I'll let you know the outcome in a few months after some abuse on the trail.
Strut bearing replacement
Just bought a spring compressor to do this job.
only special tool necessary here and pretty much the same method on all vehicles.
The diagnosis of bad strut bearings can be done trough several symptoms observation :
-while getting out of a curve difficulty for the steering to come back centered alone
-difficulties to turn the steering wheel while parked
-once all front end lifted, difficulty to turn manually the wheels both directions
-noises from the hood sides compartment while cruising or running on a bump

Subaru Forester Swaybar Bushing Upgrade DIY
My buddy Sean was going to upgrade to stiffer bushings on his swaybars and I had a chance to stop by to lend a hand and shoot a little video of the process. This is a good demonstration of how it can go when you have only basic tools.
