Suspension Bushings

Post by thebears » Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:42 pm

Hi Forum.

So its about time i started on another mod, either going to be the exhaust or the suspension. My gut feel is to get tall the bushes replaced, the car has done 220,000k and has a few groans and creeks at times.

THinking of these http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/pr ... 11%2E18102# is this a good price or anyone now where else to ship them from or get them from?

Also, can anyone offer a helping hand to install them all. There is some i could do myslef but not having all the tools. What would be an approx cost.

Cheers

Probably not as good as Cole's press but I have a tool I have made up for extracting the bushes and pulling in the new ones.
