Try EnergySuspension.com they have polyurethane bushings

[K-ESD]

Try EnergySuspension.com they have polyurethane bushings

not for our cars

[Kadett]

Superflex makes them, but only for the rear.

[Culpable04]

I was at Aotozone yesterday and I saw that they have a big selection of polyurethane bushings, they look just like the ones that came with my sway bars, so check your local autozone.

theres different sizes..so whatever bushing u have jus bring it in autozone and jus match em up with the ENERGY SUSPENSION bushings......

how many people would be interested in getting together to try and see if a company like energy suspension would make a full set (full car) of Poly bushings for our car....i have pieces of the car i'm willing to send out to have them made if we get enough interest to beable to ask the company of a deal

[S_C_M]

I'd buy a set if they were available, though I do know that it might take forever to fab bushings. A bunch of MKIII Supra guys were trying to get a set made through Energy Suspension and ultimately ended up going with another company entirely. (Prothane IIRC) At any rate, it can be done, and I hope there is enough interest to get something going.

[Kadett]

I would be interested as well. Since Superflex only delivers the rear ones.

[playr158]

if the supra guys ditched that company and went with prothane i guess we should start at prothane
so thats wat

3 interested...we need more

[Speeder]

I'm interested. My car realy needs new bushings.
The only difficulty is that I live in Norway.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

another member in....

[jdg371]

anyone have a guess or estimate on how much these would cost?

[playr158]

i assume it would depend on how many people we could get in on this...

[Kadett]

I'm interested. My car realy needs new bushings.
The only difficulty is that I live in Norway.

Shipping stuff like that would not cause cost more then 50 USD shipped I guess. Im in as well! Someone make a list

Which company did you mean by this reply. Superflex or another one?
Also not unimportant. GT and ST should be the same right?

[playr158]

i ment we'll investigate with PROTHANE on the ability to produce some bushings

and i'm not sure if they are or not

[djspike]

I would be in

[presure2]

[playr158]

thanks for making up that list for me kadett!

[jdg371]

if theres an estimate price I might join in

[MaskedMan]

^^ same here

[Starcraftjunkie]

which bushings are we talking about? End links? shifter?
I'm interested but need more info.

[MaskedMan]

I'm thinking it will be like $150. If so, then go ahead and count me in for sure.

[jdg371]

I think were talking about full bushing?

not sure which those are.. can someone list what bushings we would get in the "kit"

also any update plyr?

[playr158]

sent an email....no response

[S_C_M]

Playr, I'll try to look around and see if I can find anyone else. Energy is still an option, but I do not know if they will take anything custom on or not.

[playr158]

thanks bro...i've been super busi here with a customer project, work and school that i havn't been able to give this much time...as well as i have done some research on companies who do bushings for my jetta but doubt they would do them for imports as its 99% euro based so those companies are outta the question

but i have heard rumors of a decent amount of 5th gen bushings workin on a 6th gen so i'll have to dig into that more and see wat i can turn up

[Punisher]

Count me in.

I want everything from the rear to the front.. Atleast everything that I was able to replace on my 5gc.. Which was rear trailing arms, rear sway bar, front sway bar, front A-arms.

[Punisher]

Any developments on this?

[playr158]

email sent to new company awaiting response

[Chanh55]

I ordered Daizen ones through these guys, http://www.tmengineering.net/suspension/daizen/index.html.

It was $100 for the front upper and lower control arms before tax and shipping. They're an authorized distributor of Daizen and can probably get you guys a good price if you get a group together. Daizen is supposed to be one of the best on the market.

[Slick]

So, did anything come of this? Because I'd be interested.

[2slow2nervous]

i need the bushings mine took poop on me and my car sways bad in the rear!

Maybe you guys would be interested in knowing the rear suspension arms also uses spherical BEARNING that you cannot change (where the hubs meet the arms).

And those are the ones that makes noise and enable you to wiggle the entire wheel/hub assembly.

edit:

actually its sherical bearing at both ends!!!



I know the rear arm is in 2 peices (for alignment adjustment)..I don't know about this one, I'd say its bearing too.

You guys should look into it, normaly replacing the entire arms are the only way to get rid of losseness/noise.
