Rear Lower Control Arm Polyurethane Bushing Install - Outer Sleeve Removal

SuspensionintermediateCommunity Verified
Problem

When installing Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings on the rear lower control arms of a 1992 Supra, the new bushings won't fit with the original outer metal sleeve still pressed into the control arm.

Root Cause

The factory outer metal sleeve pressed into the control arm must be removed before the new polyurethane bushings can be installed. The Energy Suspension kit uses its own sleeve.
