ever since I got my bronco in august of 02 I've been wondering why the hell my right tire leaned and my steering would be fine one second, then really screwed up when I hit a pothole or bump, checked my balljoints, they were good, today I was gonna check my bearings, well when I took off the tire, I grabbed the hub and started pushing/pulling it all kinda ways and discovered that my axle pivot bushing it SHOT!, $8 for a new one from the zone, question is what will I need to do to replace it? remove my passenger side suspension, and disconnect the radius arm? or what? I figure it's gonna be a real pita, so I may as well change the drivers side too while I'm at it.
On a more happy note, my cousin sold me two 33x12.50 GY Wrangler MTR's that aren't in too bad of shape for $10 a peice, only have maybe about 1/4 inch of tread if that but it's way better than what I had on front already. And for detailing his car he gave me four 15x8 rims
here's what I had
then I got kinda bored so decided to goof off 
not very good but I'll get some better ones once I can get that front end higher off the ground, also the search for a job continues..living in a small town sucks

You mean the bushing on the inner part of the ttb where it connects to the frame?

I'd think to get the old on out you could either torch it, drill it or press/beat it out. I usually drill around the sleeve in the center then push whatever is left out. To get the new one in you might want a press though....
