Hi everyone
I want to get my rear control arms powder coated black soon. What I don't want to do is remove my rear original rubber busings as they are in really good shape! Will the bake dry process damage the bushings? thanks |

What is the final application, pure street, auto-x, track, a combination of all the above?
Elephant Racing makes several versions of 914 trailing arm bushings As does Rebel Racing As does Tangerine Racing\ You can also get poly urethane from various sources just not worth the hassle, universal fit, some people like them some don't. 914Rubber is making sets now also, should be a fine product for a street car. I have run stock, poly, poly bronze and Rebel Racing. Have not ran Chris's delrin stuff, yeah believe it or not there is a product Chris makes that I have not purchased. But I would say judging from all his other stuff they should be great also. |

I want to avoid modifications and definitely don't want any squeaking! looking for something that is plug and play within reason for a car of this age! I remember years ago i did a car with red Daystar polyurethane bushings full kit front & Back, and this thing squeaked like crazy! $100's of dollars and a week later they those things were in the trash.
