i have a local cs3 lancer i am in the process of changing both bushings on my cradle arms as well as the ball joints........ i ripped one of the rubbers on the ball joint the other day.
i changed the rear bushing and then i realised i had the wrong bushings for the middle........so i had to gett them to press back in the old bushings and put back up the cradles .....i am going with substitute parts....
will put up some pics tomorrow and prices

i already have all the bushings and ball joints, my boot rubber on the right burst so i changing that as well.

TURBOT....did you get a boot rubber for the ball joint alone to buy?
and where did you get the ball joints to buy...what brand and what price....

TURBOT · Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 11:15 pm Post subject:

i hear they dont sell that so i buy complete balljoints from jurawans in diego martin......the brand is "Three 555 Five". my padna tell me this is the best brand, it cost like 400 for the pair will check the bill tomorrow, they are japanese made... i decided while the cradle arm off might as well change the linkage bushings one time as all the other bushings and ball joints are being changed.....i gonna buy the polyurethane energy suspension ones from W2J....

the bootrubber burst a few days now so i hoping i didnt wait tooo long to change it .........i was wondering if the original clamp can be reused instead of the tie straps.....my mechanic doing the work this time i not doing it again.....

yeah three 555 is a good brand....once it made in japan I dont mind....if it have taiwan or china then fleck that....

is d stabilizer bar linkage bushings you talkin about right....I wanna change my ball joints in a timing so I would also change my linkage bushings as well. If it's not Three 555 or any other japanese brand then I go hadda save up and buy OEM linkage bushings.

What suspension parts exactly you buyin from W2J?

just a word of advice on the polyurethane rubbers.
yes they going to stand up stronger than the oem and are better priced but you going to get a stiffer, harder ride.

^^^ u adtually saying that Question

Fellas ah get meh AC fix. It had a leak by 2 valves. The evaporator, condensor, dryer needed servicing/cleaning. Had to regas and he put in some nitrogen somewhere. Nitrogen expensive costs about 700.

Any way total job costs about 1400 and im sure that the ac wukkin better than stock now.

Best part is that i got it done on aripita avenue about a stone trow away from where i live.

^^^^ you got robbed man Nitrogen is like $65.00 for a 100lb cylinder

the gauge it self tat is used to discharge the Nitrogen is around $1500.00 but that should not affect your price

the most you should have paid for the pressure test is $200.00

and you think you have a leak and you not sure where it commingfrom all you need to do is check the open the caps to the pressure ports if you hear a little hiss and then stops you have leaking valves

BTW if anyone having any problems with you A/C PM me can put you all onto someone that can fix it at a mos reasonable cost

Click for full-size.

ronsin1, i did post asking for a ac tech earlier, im sure i didnt get robbed as the guy is a reputable person. I dont know exactly what he did with nitrogen tho.

TURBOT,
In the last pic u posted what are the rubbers in the center for?
I know the one on the right is a velocity joint boot rubber.....

TURBOT · Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 12:15 pm Post subject:

They are the small bushings that go on the middle of the cradle arm .... Between the ball joint and the big rear bushing.....

I have to get a plug wrench and a gapping tool.. I never cleaned the plugs since I have the car...and I dunno when last dm changed them....
