Going all Prothane under the car
Heard a thunk the other day on rough pavement and figured I should look it over; ran the Teg up the ramps today. Although there is no sloppiness in the suspension yet, the right front LCA bushing is obviously on its way out. A couple of other pieces front and back are also looking cracked and worn.
Priced out Prothane's total kit for the Teg versus buying OEM bushings by mail order -- looks like Prothane is a screaming deal. I have their front sway bar bushings and they've been good.
If I'm going to pull the suspension apart, I should do everything, just as a long term time/labor saver. Prothane total kits don't have the rear trailing arm bushing in them. That's separate, and fairly spendy, $115 or something.
Energy have the same things for $20 -- the difference being that Prothane comes with new metal outer sleeves, and on Energy you would re-use the factory sleeves.
I'm going to order the Prothane kit tomorrow, and go ES for the rear trailings, unless someone tells me I'm making a mistake. Will report back on the experience in a week or two.
If anyone needs sway bar bushings, I'm going to have extras, since the front ones come in the Prothane kit, and I've already got Prothanes in front.
