laxman0324 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 the only options ive heard of are replacing your current bushings with poly ones or buying new revised control arms from the dealer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod_b Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Are the AC bushing better than stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Are the AC bushing better than stock? Yes. The AC bushings are made of polyurethane, while the stock bushings are rubber. The major caveat to installing the AC poly bushings is that it's not easy to remove the stock bushings from the control arms and install in the new ones without appropriate tools.

Wetnwild Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 What's wrong with your current ones? Replaced the stock ones due to swaying of the rear at freeway speeds. In the future, would like to find aftermarket arms or at least install polyurethane bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you kept the old arms, you can simply buy replace the bushings with poly's and swap the arms out whenever it's convenient for you. Nobody sells arms with poly bushings preinstalled.

Wetnwild Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Had to cut out the rear bolts of the lower arms and the arms got damaged in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
