poly bushings

[SRT2SLOW]

Hey guys with poly bushing. I have about 40k on mine. They are shot. At first I just thought it was just my upper control arms. I was wrong. My lower control arms are shot too. Be sure to check them if you had them for a couple of years. And FYI the black ones last longer than the red ones. Well that's what Energy Suspension told me.

waaw , just bought the red ones from Tony....

but if they last 40k miles , thats about 7 or 8 years driving for me.

if ya go by Energy Suspension, you'll need a press.

most use a torch to burn the old rubber bushins out.

be careful with the torch method. it will usually shoot the bolt sleeve out, usually on fire & can go a fair distance, lol
