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 |

I'd replace them if they badly rusted. You can buy fancy new ones from Tangerine racing and here's the link:
http://tangerineracing.com/suspension.htm I bought a used set from Eric at PMB Performace that were cleaned up and freshly placted. I would have put them in the picture but I bought them months ago and they're burried in a pile of of boxes of parts for my car. I have not pulled out the old ones yet so I'm not sure what condition mine are in. You can also check with Elephant Racing and see if they will sell just the shafts from their rear control arm bushing kits. Here's a picture of the Elephant Racing shaft with their kit. ![]() |
