In most cases you can replace the bushing without worrying about unloading the spring plate. When you put the car in the air, the spring plate, shock, and rear axle tube (or shaft if it's IRS) are still bolted together and keep the plate from slipping off the lower lip of the stop. Here's what I mea...
