So you saying that if i want to go with the solid Bushings on here for the sub frame, i also have to get the "FC Trailing Arm Front Bushing spherical bearing conversion (TAFB)" as well on the top of the page?? im currently redoing my rear suspension now and so far have just got the energy suspension master kit and am now looking into the subframe bushings...so id like to get everything done right the first time and not press the ES bushings in if i just have to press them back out and get something else...

Link for what im talking about: Solid Bushings for FC - Parts Shop MAX

solid subframe bushings are fine, that's unrelated to the rear control arms.

urethane bushings for the rear control arms are never really ideal because they arms move on multiple axis and bind the urethane. bearings would be better. This is especially true of you're using any sort of camber adjuster on the inner control arm pivot.

Another clarification, the location for these bearings is the front mount in the rear Trailing arms? Or the smaller one at the rear of the trailing arm at the top for the spindle/hub to mount on??? And if for the front one the es kit doesn't have a Bushing to out there, does any company sell one for that spot as well? I want everything tight like a 2 year old in the back!!! Hahahaha

I believe they are referring to the trailing arm subframe side(largest bushing on the TA) I'd recommend the spherical from Max. MMR,AWR or Whiteline(?) for the upper rear(bushing) and lower rear(pillow ball), the lower rear also requires two seals which are on backorder(thru MMR) until March

It's the bushing at the front of the trailing arm that goes to the subframe. Buy the PBM spherical bearing kit for the rear trailing arm.

PBM also has the solid upper bushing for the rear hub if you remove DTSS.

PBM is Powered by Max.

i ordered the Whiteline upper bushing since it has the camber adjustability with it...now does anyone do the lower one at all?? or is that just a mute point with the DTSS elim and upper one replaced?

Lower is not needed, it is a spherical bearing from the factory.
