Post After market Bushing...

Does anyone know if they make a poly bushing set for our cars yet...01-03 ...
i took my car to pro fab to get a new clutch put in and when they dropped the sub frame
they noticed that the A arm bushings were torn...( on both sides) not only that but the front motor mount was done as well...

i bought the Oem back bushing for the A arm $35 for the two...remember I still need the front two...as for the motor mount were going to weld that bad boy up so it will never brake..

but figureing since the fronts r bad then the rest must be going as well...

Lower control arm buhsings (that A-Arm) are availible from energy suspension... cheep (about $40 for a full set for the front suspension, about $60 for the rear). There are no motor mounts availble that I am aware of.

there is a DIY on how to fill in your existing motor mounts with Polyurethane. It is in tech stuff. I don't think anyone will make motor mounts for the D17.

are these the bushings you are talking about? where can you purchase them from? i dotn see a link to purchase them on the energy suspension page. how hard are these to install, how much would installation cost at a shop? thanks for the help.

fronts need to be pressed out then the new ones pressed in. The rears are a pain in the ***. They are quite a bit of work. Here is a DIY
http://www.energysuspension.com/artpg1.html

you can get them online at a bunch of stores. try jegs, ptuning, etc.

PS that control arm is for a different car. Ours isn't that big.

Heres my DIY.... well not really

On the front control arms you only replace 2 bushings.... The front one was really torn up the rear wasn't. (Front = Bushing closest to hand)



Heres the rear mount



Heres the front mount


Heres the press we used to push the bushings in and out...


and hers the finished product

Oh! you can see one of my race tires in the background!!!!



I loves my race tires!
