Ordered rear bushings today ... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be bosozoku on  Fri Apr 9 06:16 CST 2004 [RELATED]

from FCP Groton. Poly rear RTAs, poly torque rods (I played with
my car's rods and they felt pretty loose), rubber panhard rod bushes,
and rubber front RTAs - the poly bushes required removing a welded
bracket on the car's body. Total cost: $133 incl. shipping. The poly
bushings are SuperPro and the others are MTC brand, not ScanTech.


I'll still need to buy a set of jackstands and borrow a floor jack
from my neighbor. Should I lube the poly bushings with anything
before I install them, or are they better off dry?


The rear shocks were replaced a year and 1/2 ago by the PO, so I
don't think that I'll need new ones. I might get new ones after
the bushing job is done and when I do swaybars.


If anyone has any other suggestions...


Thanks in advance,
-b.
