I double checked the bill turbo_beast369
its 240 for the 2 Linkages and
300 for the 2 Busshings then VAT on top of that.

Whats amazing is I got a 50% discount
Which means those prices were really for one side.

So I would advise you all that have outstanding maintainence to do,
Now is as good a time as any to get your OEM parts.

well when u see pics with wheel off the ground for a car that that not supposed to happen, then u kno sumtin wrong lol

but knocking supposed to be the clear sign. usually a clanking sound on bad road when metal hitting metal. Then you really supposed to go up and align ever so often and these fellas will tell u if the bushings are bad.

other than that chick, sumtimes jus by driving your car u can tell if somthing doesnt feel right. from behind the steerin you can feel if the car is behaving a lil loose with steering and over bad roads

nes123, the thought crossed my mind to!
but down time was a critical issue and i know i HAD to go to DM for the linkage kit coz outside kits are not oem spec, and as i was there i say let me pick up the bushing one time. I had to beg for transport and the guy was pressed for time.

trust me if i had better mobility i would look around.
hmm shoulda call P3UNG and see if he had time to carry me around.

idlemind · Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 11:40 am Post subject:

nes123, was 250 for 2 or 1?

nes123 · Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 12:11 pm Post subject:

$250 for 8 bushings with washers (energy suspension) which is 4 per side...I got them from him 2 mths ago

ZeroOne · Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 12:13 pm Post subject:

yea thats true it have a aftermarket one that does lost longer than stock. i had to change my 2 cradle arms and bushings and i used the after market one.

I think once you hearing knocking the cradle arm gone too. Better to have the alignment people tell you that bushings need changing.

bleh...nex time fuh dat then

nes123 · Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 12:19 pm Post subject:

idlemind,my advice is if ya dexing regualrly, ya should change dem out one time no mind ya done spend de $300 as this prevents some measure of flex done to ya cradle bushings upon hard cornering.This in turn will make them(cradle) last longer...just a consideration if ya dig what ah saying

idlemind · Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 12:22 pm Post subject:

That's a best price on the poly bushings there nes123
Depending on the price I wanna change all my bushings to poly (at least the rear ones)
