I was able to get the bolt and nut out. My question is what is the easiest way to remove the old rubber bushings. I am having a time getting them out. There is bound to be an easier way.

 

cut, drill, hack, hammer, ect.

 

Mine fell out before I got around to replacing them. I plan on gettng under it this week and am afraid the bolt has roweled out the hole.

I just got the car (an 88 IROC 5.7) that by "all original" I mean 21 years old and nothing changed but the tires, oil and radiator. I am making a list of everything to replace/fix. I guess since I can rattle the panhard by hand the bushings move up the priority list.

 

I was able to replace the passenger side bushing which appeared to be the problem but was unable to get the bolt out on the driver side due to rust. Just replacing the passenger side has fixed the problem for now. I am taking it in for a professional to repair the driver side. They may have better tools and patience for it.

 

Torch them out. Takes 5 minutes.
