Title: Front End Post by: KFH on June 10, 2008, 05:23:04 PM What is the easiest way of getting new bump stop rubbers back into the control arms? Unsuccessful so far.

Title: Re: Front End Post by: KFH on June 11, 2008, 08:35:19 PM Thanks Ken and FC 427 for the hints. After a few trys I found it was easy to fit them by putting the control arm against one jaw of the vice and the bump stop against the other jaw squeeze them in. I used rubber grease for the first two but I found it unnecessary for the others. On the jaw that had the control arm resting against it I used a small piece of timber and some rag to protect the new paint on the control arms. Very quick doing it this way.
