Metrix Premium Chassis Parts - Rear Upper Control Arm Bushing Fits 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty, Replacement K200428, Made in Europe

Bushings seem to be of good quality. Now the rear suspension is quiet and without swinging sideways when making a turn. Prior to the bushings, I installed a MOOG Ball Joint and recently TRW Trailing (Side Control) Arms. Hope the Bushings will last as long as the original bushings (over 20 years). Installation is a pain in the back (and everywhere), but that has to do with the design of the vehicle. Easier to do if you have access to a shop lift and a mechanical/hydraulic shop press. Disconnecting the Ball Joint end from the "pumpkin" clevis mount at the top of the Rear Axle and in particular re-inserting the Ball Joint end into the clevis mount are major challenges, as you need to bring the rear axle to the proper height (by moving it up and down) and in the proper position, relative to the vehicle body. Watch some videos on You Tube to get a better idea. And one more thing: get a helper, because you are going to need an extra hand, or two. IMPORTANT Detail: one main reason for premature failure of these Bushings of other manufacturers may have to do with damage or improper installation. Looking at the OEM Upper Rear Control Arm, I've noticed the way the Bushings were installed: the two flat parallel machining of the inner metal bushing should be inline; I took a straight angle and lined it against the flats of each bushing, to make sure they were in a straight line before pressing them in.
