Master bushing set for 1st gens???

How come every other frickin car has a "Master bushing set" that you can buy, w/ all the avialable bushings, but for 1st gens you have to buy "this little bit" and that other little bit, and piece it all together??

I have victoria british, am i just not looking in the right places?

I wanna go poly bushings..

Late

Geoff

Call them, They'll walk you through it, and they had everything.

I spent like 129 bucks for all my poly bushings.

I replaced all I could when I swapped out the springs/shocks/ and front swaybar.

The rest I took to a suspension shop and paid 50 bucks.

Didn't Directfreak get the energy suspension "polygraphite" bushings? Maybe these are less prone to squeaks than the RB bushings...

Right on.

Yes, but the Racing Beat Front Swaybar comes with it's own bushings for the increased diameter of the swaybar.

It's what I used. That one I installed myself as well.
Sorry...but no squeeks.
