d22597 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Interesting. I'll bring my spindle socket and whiteline bushing to work tomorrow to measure with calipers. If I understand what you're saying, the socket wouldn't even fit inside the empty bushing hole in the control arm. Another way of saying it is that it wouldn't be able to push out the original bushing because the socket was too large.

Dispatch20 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Correct, unless you force the larger socket through the LCA and potentially damage the arm. I'm curious what your calipers measure the socket. My socket measured 59.45mm in outer diameter, which was just inside the 60mm inner diameter of the control arm hole. So it sounds like some manufacturing differences make this socket hit or miss. That sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22597 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I just received the AVO kit. It measured 59.32mm. Here are all my measurements: Whiteline Bushing: AutoZone socket: AVO Installer: AVO Receiver: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22597 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Just wanted to add a 1" impact socket was the perfect installer for the front LCA bushing. A 1 1/2" black gas pipe was a perfect fit for the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I should have went with poly bushings this time around but I bought a pair of loaded LCAs and will swap them whole arms. I may try this on the OEM arms as the rubber bushing on these cars fail fast like every 30K miles fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefunkymusic Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Anyone want to sell their AVO tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 what AVO tool are you talking about. I did mine with no AVO tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My socket measured 59.45mm in outer diameter, which was just inside the 60mm inner diameter of the control arm hole. So it sounds like some manufacturing differences make this socket hit or miss. That sucks! If you look at the printing on the sockets they are different. You also purchased a year before the other person, so it looks like if you find old stock you may get lucky. I'm going to try my autozone and see if I get lucky, will bring my caliper to make sure. Anyone have any ideas for a receiver/base that would work with this? On another note, i was actually just looking for the part number for the AVO, when I came across this little bit of info. The part number is AVO S2X0491OA001T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
