Soo i just came back from the mechanic.. i had him diagnose all my bushings and susp problems...

he found out that i need to replace my rear trail arm bushings....

Is trail armbushings hard to take out???? can i just hammer them out ??plus...
taking out the trail arm , will that mess up my alignments from reinstallation and stuff like that with just doing the job with regular tools??? not having specific pro mechanic tools..

anyways i dont know anything about trailarms so fyi's and explanations would be good if u guys have any...

You can do it diy but they are a pain to get out. I attacked the old ones with a hammer and other stuff.

You will need to get your cars tracking done once new ones are fitted.

There are many ways you can DIY this. I just got mine done last weekend and they are a pain in the ass. I took the trailing arms off and hammer one out, I was so frustrated that I took them to a near by shop and got them pressed in.

Why not try going where you went to get your alignment done before and tell them that your car didn't feel "properly alligned" since your last visit.
I've done this 3 times 2 at PepBoys and 1 at some local shop after I installed my lca bushings and slammed my car
