Message: <blockquote data-quote="defcon1" data-source="post: 1481560" data-attributes="member: 30064">Actually, the metal parts under the car are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle under normal usage. So, the only parts that need changing are the bushings and the absorbers.The secret is in how the bushings are installed and the kind of grease you use. This will determine how long they will last.Although bushings can be pumped out with a simple hydraulic press, and the new part whacked back in again, Lee insists on sending the undercarriage parts to a machine shop. At the machine shop, the bushings are pumped out, then the holes measured for abnormal wear or warpage before the new bushings are pressed in. In the event of abnormal wear/warpage, they would advise Lee, and the fix would be to remachine a bit of metal off the hole, enlarging it slightly but making it perfectly round again, and then pressing in a new, slightly larger bushing.Also how even the force when pressing in the new bushing has a bearing on how it will wear later on.Done correctly, there is no reason the re-furbished part should last any less than a new part.NEVER frequent a mechanic whose favourite tool when fitting a bushing or a bearing, is a hammer!</blockquote>
