(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) are the poly graphite worth the extra $$ over the standard rubber ?

Like mentioned earlier, as far as I know, the only way to put new rubber bushings in the pivot points is to purchase new a-arms ($425 each) and trailing arms (not listed @ Pelican)
A few people have been lucky to find used parts with good rubber, but I'd think that is getting much more difficult to find. A lot of people (me included) believe that the rubber bushings flexed and acted like a small spring in both directions. (the rubber "twisted") The replacment plastic bushing change the characteristics and allow the a-arm to pivot. I'd look into the bushings sold by Chris Foley @ Tangerine Racing. |
