- Here's a no BS video on how to replace your trailing arm/rear axle bushings with nothing but common tools a DIYer will have at home. A second set of hands definitely won't hurt for this job, big thanks to IEATCHAIR for the massive assist here. No hoist, torching, pressing, brake bleeding or any other magic tricks required, just a lot of blunt force. All tools required are socialized in the video. Happy to respond to questions/comments. Applies to all Aveo/G3/Wave/Swift of the same generation (2004-2011). The replacement parts used in the video were paid for in full by the owner of the vehicle, no promotional material used here. The bushing set cost just under $100 CDN.

I'm just trying to get this part replaced for peace of mind, just wanted to see what it looked like. Now I have an idea, thank you boss mayne 👊🏿
This job was really enjoyable, there were no surprises and nothing went wrong.
Nice, thanks for making this video. Super detailed and you showed every step. I’m getting ready to replace the bushings on my wife’s 2009 aveo5. Good job guys
Morgan thanks, and good luck on the job.
Where did you find the 2 piece bushings? Do you have a link?
James Crittenden whitelineperformance.com/products/w63458-bushing-kit You can usually find them on amazon or eBay too
why go thru all that crap when you can buy a bush pressing tool for 50 bucks and do both sides in an hour crazy stuff.and if you damage the bush housing with drills n hammers the bush wont sit right.
Nailed it. I'm looking forward to the driver side.
Thanks for the video.
Were you happy with the 2 piece bushing performance? Should I just stick with the 1 piece and try to press them in?
M Really the owner of the vehicle is happy with them, no complaints yet. I loved not having to press anything.
I have the press fit one and I broke one trying to press it in
Exactly why I went with the 2-piece here
is this what a hhr rear end look like as well
Im having alot of trouble aligning the stud in the middle of the bracket :s
It turns out that while trying to align the stud in the bracket of the passenger side. I was fighting with the bushing on the drivers side.
The solution was to rest the axle bar on jack stands and replace the drivers side bushing. Then i was able to install both brackets at the same time.
Thanks so much for the videos you've helped me alot thanks!
Can i just cut the bolt off and remove the bushing? Sawzall king here :) did it to the lca in the front lol.
as long as you have a new nut and bolt it shouldn't be an issue, but you'll have to trim the fender metal to put the bolt through and the nut will then be on the gas tank side of the bracket
What were the sign that the bushing was bad ?because I think I have a bad one on my cobalt because I have a squicking noise on the driver side and it's very anoying
On this car, the metal sleeve rotted away, which caused the bushing to sag and move out of position. you could tell something was going on when you hit bumps, and the visual inspection confirmed it. perhaps try lifting the back end of the car with the weight off the axle, then try to rock the axle or use a pry bar to check for free play in the bushing.
Crab cakes doing it.
Where did you buy your bushing
Is this same part for hhr ?
It is not.
I'm trying to find the bushing every keeps telling me there one piece
Did you find it? OEM is one piece & this is one from whiteline
If only you used the solid bushing and showed that haha
That 2 piece bushing won't last long because it doesn't have the steel on the outside of the bushing
