RXV replace kingpin bushings

bmmonahan · 11-19-2021, 09:54 AM

I have a 2018 RXV that I am working on upgrading front and back bushings.

I wanted to inspect and possibly replace the kingpin bushings.

The bolt and nut that hold the kingpin bushings are impossible to budge. How do I remove this ?

Replacing rear leaf spring bushings and a arm bushings made a huge difference in the squeaky suspension.

Usually a good air impact. If you dont have one, you would need a breaker bar and wrench.

Or a cordless electric impact. I use a 3/4” drive Milwaukee that will unscrew the Eiffel Tower from its base.

A stout impact, air or electric, is the way to go.

Thanks, will look in to getting an impact wrench.
