Replacement Suspension Bushings?
I've got an 89' GTUs that needs all new suspension bushings and tie rod ends. I was wondering what you guys use on your cars or what you recomend.
I put all new polyurethane bushings in the '91 N/A I used to have. They don't ride as smoothly as stock bushings but the handling seemed better. Poly's also seem to last well.

Do a search for "suspension upgrade" or "suspension restore" on this website (2nd gen section) to educate yourself on what's involved. You can also download the factory service manual from www.teamfc3s.org and EDUCATE YOURSELF on how to do it.
Note racing beat has JUST started offering replacement swaybar end links for 89-91 rx-7s. I have a set on order and will see if they'll also double as "rear subframe endlinks."

Search for "suspension bushings" There is a thread with a link to the new hyperflex kit? that uses a new material combo to reduce squeeking when using the polyurethane bushings. The black bushings are what you are looking for.
