recommended bushing tools

[DSTX17]

I need to replace the rear outer ball joints, upper and lower. As well as all the differential bushings in the ears and the one in the subframe. Is there a reasonably priced tool kit that does all this? Or is there a rental tool from a specific auto parts store that does all this?

I'm about to embark on the same project and ordered this:https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben.../024979sch01a/

I haven't received it yet so I can't confirm it works, but ECS is advertising as so. Their Schwaben RTAB tool worked like a charm though.

I used this and it worked fine even though it’s not the perfect size.

I have the ball joint and LCAB tools set that I rent out. You paypal me the cost of the tool, ($180) plus $22 shipping, and I send you the tool. You use it, and send it back, (not broken) and I refund the $180... It works out to costing you about $45...

Or you can hodgepodge together some hardware store stuff and spend a lot of time and effort to figure it out, and then probably rent the correct tools...lol

I have this one that has served me well. I think most of these tools have a fiddle factor to their use.
