Mike Mueller originally retailed a roller bearing replacement for the front and rear suspension. He gave the designs to me and I've finally priced all of the components out and am ready to start taking orders. In case you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, you can look here. I will need 10 people to pre-order in order to get the run going. The normal price will be $500 per car. But for anyone who gets in this first run, I'll be selling them at $450 a set. Pre-Orders: 1. Andy 2. Steve 3. Clay 4. Eddie 5. Bruce 6. Ted 7. John 8. Bill 9. carlilq 10. Eric Shea 11. Mel 12. Rob If there is enough interest in the fronts, I will make the rears available. These bearings work with all 914 suspension, all 5 lug conversions, and all 69-89 911 suspension. I'm sure a few people will post their experiences with the bearings, but when I installed a set, I KNEW the difference as soon as I drove the car out of the shop. Stock suspension DOES NOT COMPARE. These are a great improvement for daily drivers and race cars alike. (IMG:http://www.paintandmetal.com/images/exploded.gif) |

Maybe a silly question but...how does one determine that replacement of their stock bushings are necessary? Is there a test that can be done that will show you that the stock bushings are worn? What are the indications?
I've noticed that a lot of members have done a replacement with PolyBronze or PolyGraphite and now the roller bearings, so there must be a need to do this. Or is it that people are doing whatever they can to improve their cars ride and value. I do get excited when I see cool new products come out for our cars and I was reaching for the $450 when I said to myself ..."self, you don't even know if you need this or not". Maybe those that have done a replacement could chime in on the benefits. |
