The master sets go for about $100-120 and include practically every bushing on the car, including shifter bushings.

That hyperflex kit that you are talking about has a lot of the bushings, but not the trailing arm bushings. Those are more $.

Don't forget motor mount inserts.


Westcoaststyle can get them I believe. He's got fair pricing. He's on the board search for him.

Only girls use presses. Nothing stands in the way of a torch and a sledge.:naughty:

Presses, aren't easily aquired. I'm not about to pay a machine shop $20 a bushing to get them out. It may take forever, but damn it I did it myself. It's probably the mod that I am most proud of doing.

We have an 'auto hobby shop' here on base and they happen to have a press so I did mine myself for free.

Good to have those kinds of facilities.

Harbor Freight has a 4 ton benchtop press with arbor plates included for $60. Use it to do your own work and charge your friends to do theirs!

Considering the opinions of everyone here, for $60, the press will be well worth the cost when I do my bushings.

Got another question. Does anyone know if there is an inner tie rod end on the '97 EX? I can't see beyond the boot, but it doesnt look like there is any room in the rack to fit an end ball joint.

PRess is a good idea but I still stand by my method since the machine shop couldnt make them budge with his press. Only took me a weekend to do. Wait... maybe thats why it ook a month to fix my car
