Hello. I have my engine out of my 81SC. I was studying the anatomy of the rear of the car and saw where the trailing arms mount. Should the bushings be replaced? It looks like it would be much more difficult to do with the engine in. I have my rear brake calipers off and rotors. I haven't really studied what it would take to remove the trailing arms.

What I don't want to do is get my car realigned and corner balanced, because I just did this. But if I have to, I will.

Thanks!

20 year old bushings should be replaced.

Do it while the engine is out....much easier. Will probably require realignment since you will be changing the geometry with the new aprts.

These are rubber like the fronts.
I replaced mine with solid mono-***** and they are very nice.
Just as easy with the motor in, but i had my arms out completely and had a full alignment done.
