I need to replace the rear wheel bearings, so "while I am in there" I will also tackle the bushings.
Rubber looks to be the OEM choice but is hard to find with the exception of the elephant racing kit that includes the shafts and install tools. $300+ I used the Elephant bushings on the front. I found poly-graphite to be the least expensive < $20 for a set of 4 bushings only With Delrin as the middle of the road choice. @ $50 for a set of 4 bushings only So what is the +/- of each material? Can you throw a few vendors out there? My car is a daily driver? Clark |

We are all waiting to see these mythical parts…….. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I just tracked them once again and it does not say OUT FOR DELIVERY like UPS does. But it does say that the item left the NASHVILLE PO at 3 am this morning. So I figure it will be in the route driver's truck and might be at my house now. I sure hope my dog does not chase him away. I have a scared-ee cat mailman. 1 of them is fine, one of them even wears surgical gloves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Fingers are crossed. Clark UPDATE: NOTHING arrived today. What good is the tracking system, I ask? |
