I just watched a video on Youtube about these and bought a set from Drining Source on Ebay. Video shows no special tools needed. Heat bushings to 180 degrees in hot water, press on half way, lube bushing and arm with liquid soap and press on the rest with a shop press. Same installation for the rear.

Price $42.51 on sale and Free shipping Ebay # 380128874796

Listed under 911 parts, but works on 914 too.

Anybody tried these yet?

I am computer illiterate or I would post links. Video link is attached to the Ebay item number.

I've got a set of the ER bushings with their tool that I haven't yet installed. I'll make the tool available to anyone here on a pass if forward basis when I'm done.

I'm the guy that did the "threaded rod" install and here is a link to my write-up;

"installing URO bushings write-up"

The URO bushings appear to be the same dimensionally as stock. At least that's what I found.


kconway;

I'm assuming that when you say "ER", you are talking about Elephant Racing. It's nice that you are willing to let others use the tools they supply, however they will not sell their bushings without the tools being part of the package. Thus, anybody that plans on using their bushings would already have the tools. This is per a long phone conversation with one of their guys.

Thanks for the comment, but it really isn't in a format that would work in the "classics". It's really nothing more than a link to my personal site.

I think it would be nice if the Moderators made up a section where they could post up links to addresses that are off site.
