Just got my ES master kit for my rex...now i need new coilovers and shocks, front radius arm bearings and rear trailing arm bearings (replaces the bushings)

 

that's a whole lotta bushings...

 

Tell us what you think of em once you get em all installed.

 

How much did they run you?

 

i'm going to do this project in spring time...i have to still buy the shocks, coilover kit, springs and suspension bearings...i'll probably do a helper journal when i do it

the kit goes for $130 at www.inlinefour.com but i found someone selling a new in box kit through the classifieds and got it for even cheaper

the only pain in the ass is finding which bushing goes to what since none are labeled and the parts list doesn't give a pic of each part

 

Actually, the part numbers should be molded into the bushings in small print. Def. a PITA, but shouldn't be impossible.

 

thanks for the tip...i didn't want to cut them off hte sheet b/c i won't install them for a couple months...but i can see the numbers kinda...

 

No problem, like I said, they'll be hard to read, but they're there

 

What are bushing used for?

 

your suspension's metal parts are attached via rubber bushings that become brittle and crack causing the suspension to become wobbly (makes handling worse) and eventually break causing major suspension damage...replacing the bouncy rubber bushings with harder polyurethane makes the car much more nimble than stock but makes it a little harsher in ride
