Polyurethane bushings
hi, i have a little problem finding some Polyurethane bushings. I'm getting a new suspensions setup, tokico illuminas with eibach prokit springs, and cusco strut bars along with eibach sway bars. I've been reading the forum and it's suggested that i should change the rubber bushings to Polyurethane bushings, but the problem is I can seem to find any place where i can purchase some Polyurethane bushings.

If you're going to replace stock style bushings with poly, you need to realize that the ride will probably feel a bit rougher with poly. Handling and response will always improve when you replace worn out bushings. At least that was my experience. Getting the old bushings out can really be a bear. Cutting and burning are not beyond the realm of possibility.

• Front & rear control arm bushings
• Front & rear sway bar bushings
• Front & rear sway bar end links
• Tie rod and ball joint boots
Unless there's more in the kit I'm not aware of, you don't save all that much over buying the components singly.

Summit Racing offers both the Energy Suspension and the Prothane kits. When I purchased a set (ES) a few months back, Summit had the lowest price of everywhere I checked.

Edit: If you go to Energy Suspension's web site, you can get the Adobe files showing instructions and parts list for their kit. I believe there are five separate files if you get the complete set.

When I was looking at them, I just took the part number and searched www.froogle.com for dealers

They end-links were a great upgrade for my '88 3C.

The Energy Suspension kit does include the end link bushings, at least for the S4. Here is the parts list for their complete set, from their web site:

Did you install the whole kit yourself? Any challenges? (I've only done the end links.)
I must say installing DTSS eliminators looks involved to me.

Ball joint press, eh? I have a beefy vise, but if I attempt, I'll be sure to borrow or rent a ball joint press. The idea of leaving the hubs on appeals to me...
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have just undertaken this task. It's not overly hard but it seriously is a pain in the ***. Getting the old bushes out is the hardest part but fitting the new ones is easy. You have to drop whole rear sub frame to do rear bushes and I had to modify the energy bush for front control arm. Good thing to do if you have a shed and can leave the car when you get pissed off with it all
