      I've had good luck with the four sets of Superpro LCA bushing sets I've put in some 240s. Forty eight dollars sounds like a bunch, but pales in comparison to the labor involved in these kinds of upgrades..I'm a gonna fetch me one of them real quick an' stick it in my 130 touring car soon! :)

    Innovation is the reason the Chinese steal our intellectual property not the other way around. (I'm talking contemporary history not ancient history). I wouldn't mention this while picking up your take out.

      I wouldn't mind the Chinese knock-offs if they only made them to the same specifications as the original. Using cheaper metals, shaving .005 mm off to save more metal, branding wires as 16 instead of a realistic 18 gauge, etc.

      They are hurting themselves like the Japanese did during the 1950's and 1960's. Only when they start using the same products that they now export will they get around to quality control. Too bad, for them and for us.

      As to a good quality steering bushing, hurray!!

    Hallelujah!!

    Just please make sure they fit properly.

    We used to buy only the idler arm bushings from Volvo because the aftermarket brands were crap.

    Then Volvo started selling ScanTech which are horrible and we will not use them.

    We have tried a brand called Karlyn with limited success.

    We now can get a brand called Meyle and so far they appear to be okay.
