Hi, just about to pull apart my entire suspension for the big winter project...I have all my suspensions parts ready to go (Koni shocks,Tarret 19mm front bar and 150 pound springs).... the last part I want to replace is the suspension bushings....what I am asking here is what is everybody using for their cars? My car will be a high performance weekend fun car, occasionally driven to work on nice days, mostly weekend mountain driving and occasional autocrossing...looking for a nice sporty ride.
I know Weltmeister makes a complete kit that Automotion sells for around 70 dollars for the set....than I noticed Tangerine has their sets too, and I always hear good things about the Elephant Racing bushings.....I was thinking about going with the Elephant bushings but they are expensive. Is installing the bushings a major job? I have never done this kind of work before...if any body has any advice or some suggestions or other bushings please feel free to post and thank you Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Good point to mention removal of the rear rubber bushings, this was the most difficult part to do. Chuck (at Elephant) suggest in the directions that you drill out the rubber of the trailing arm bushings. This method is a joke. Use a puller, like McMark suggested here and it made a world of difference. It's the only way to go. Here is Elephants phone # 1 408-297-2789
