Guys,

I looking at getting the Kmac front and rear bushes to fix my camber/castor.

Do i need STAR to pull back the shocks to change the bushes or can i do it without?

Cheers

iirc, you'll need star for the rears.

How about the fronts? Can i remove the front lower control arms without STAR?

chiromikey

yeah, i'm pretty sure you can. i don't remember having to release pressure in the airmatics until we did the rears.

AK-AMG

Thanks chiromikey,

Can someone else please confirm or chime in if you have done this before?

Cheers

Only the rears need STAR to bleed the rear aromatics down, it will take 5-10 mins to bleed them out on a lift

Hi AMGPilot,

So do you need to bleed the fronts out or will they stay up by themselves. Sorry i am a little confused.

AMGPilot

You do NOT have to worry about the fronts. There is plenty of room to get the control arms out without bleeding the front struts down

No need to do anything else, apart from remove the lower and front arms.

Good luck, you need a strong mechanical/hydraulic press, otherwise you will be there for days trying to remove and then reinstall the new bushes.
