During my trip to the WCR I had a VERY loud squeek from the left rear suspension. After removing the shock, break and rear sway bar I can lift the trailing arm up with NO resistance and NO noise. Is it possible that it could be noisy only with the weight of the car on it? I bought some polygraphite bushings for it. Should I use them or opt for the more expensive roller bearing bushing, or poly bronze etc.? Are the rear roller bearing bushings even available any more?
Cheers, Elliot Attached thumbnail(s)

With everything you have into your car... and even though you are thinking of selling... I would put in the Elephant Racing poly bronze. Everyone I have talked to about using them say DO IT. They say it is great for a street or race car and adds so much to the suspension for feel. You car deserves it.
You should have just traded me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
