I just installed URO rubber front bushings and did a write-up on it.
This is a major "low dollar" install. Here is the link; My Webpage Wes Vann |

The rubber garden divider as a lower front air dam was a classic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy |

Nice writeup and very creative tools. As SirAndy mentioned, Trekkor would be proud!

Wes,
As usual, a nice write up. What are URO rubber bushings? Did you mean urethane or? Thanks, Andys |

I'll probably be following your article for my a-arm treatment. Great Job.
What's wrong w/Home Depot? My Dad made shift busings from PVC that worked a whole lot better then what you can buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I probably shouldn't mention that Home Depot helped repair the tube for the engine lid cable either. |

There are other suppliers, but I can't comment on quality or size, which could impact how difficult they are to install. (on a personal note, I was thinking of you and your snarky comment about using JB Weld on the steering column bearing, when I was using the stuff. Standing in the garage laughing! Here's to you Andy.

Gr8 job on the write up Wes , when you get it on the road , let us know how the new rubber feels !! and handles. Should be quite smooth on bumpy roads and less vibration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
