This tool paid for itself after one use.Replaced all four rear body bushings without a hiccup.Save some money and do it yourself.
David R Murison –
It worked very well. I greased the snot out of the shaft and used lots of penetrant to get the old ones out. Some euro tire lubricant and the new ones slid right in. Only thing i would add to this kit is a 15/16 extra deep socket, would have made the job much quicker.

No quality issues. Not sure if it’ll hold up in a professional setting but it was good enough for me to do the subframe bushing job in my driveway without removing the rear subframe.

Purchased this kit to replace my x5 rear subfram bushings and it works well. Note, it does not come with instructions but there’s only a few pieces that you can figure out how it works.Make sure when removing the old bushings, the large black receiver should be flush and even under the subframe bushing hole, otherwise it may become crooked as you torque on the nut and possibly bend the main threaded bolt.
