Ok all, finished replacing the Motor and Tranny Mounts and it made a huge overall difference. Thanks for all the suggestions.
With that project completed, I have decided to replace the A Arm Bushings. Any suggestions on which bushings or rebuilt A Arms i should use would be much appreciated. Thanks again... |

When installing the bushings should you use some kind of grease? If so what is best.

Thanks, Brent for sharing the video. That one took at least a few hours off my life (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).
@ken mikos If you're getting new A-arms, get the ones with the drop link brackets already installed. If you have a front sway bar, you've already got em. If you don't, someday you may want to install one and you'll be glad you don't have to mess with adding the brackets. |

I'm working on this now, but I'm using stock bushings. They are pretty cheap, about $100 for a set of four. They are (of course) the correct durometer rubber, the difficulty is installation, which I'm working on a solution for that, but I don't know if it can be done without a press.

If anyone is interested, in late 2017 we released a "Heavy Duty" performance version of our Front Control Arm Bushings 901 341 421 02KHD, which are about 30% more firm than the OEM rubber. These do require considerable heat (boiling water) and some kind of press arrangement to install, and are definitely not a slip-fit.

Hi Perry, do you have a source for the Stock bushings? Thanks, Frank |

They are (of course) the correct durometer rubber, the difficulty is installation, which I'm working on a solution for that, but I don't know if it can be done without a press. Much easier with a tool, hot water, a lot of soft soap and a lot of patience. We have the tool and the bushings (with the correct durometer rubber) for about $65. https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/c...-install-tool-1 |
