I need to replace the front rubber bushings and am planning to use the Elephant Racing bushings and install tools. I have not been able to find a video or other info regarding removal of the control arms. I am not near my car so I can't crawl under right now.
Will I need to remove the hubs, brakes or anything else to remove the control arms? Thanks, Jack |

After purchasing the elephants, I found these for significantly less:
http://www.tarett.com/items/914-products/9...rfbk-detail.htm They look to be very similar. Cant say about the quality of the tarett, but the elephants are like butter. |

Cant say about the quality of the tarett, but the elephants are like butter. Those look like the parts that Rebel racing produces, based on the RSR part number I would assume they are "Part #RSRFBS" also cheaper if you buy direct from Rebel. http://rebelracingproducts.com/Suspension/Steering.html The Rebel front bushings are Fuching amazing! I personally chose them over the polybronze for a few reasons. |
