Stock Steering Stabilizer Question

[Saharaunlmtd]

Can the sleeve in the stock steering stabilizer be pressed out of the bushing without destroying it?

I bought a Rancho relocation bracket that requires an aftermarket SS but I imagine the stock ss would work without the sleeve.

Probably not. The sleeve is most likely bonded to the bushing, so the bushing will probably tear.

I got mine out, didn't tear.

Mine tore apart and I had to buy 2 new bushings so if yours tears pm me and I can mail you the one I didn't need

Just to update on my question, I was able to press out the sleeve using two sockets and a vice without damaging it.
