Hi,
I have a 1995 GT convertible. I was told it can not be properly aligned since ... okay I forgot the name of the part that was bad, I was told two years ago. It may have been an upper or lower something or another, but not sure. Anyway, I am wanting to fix / renew the entire suspension instead of just one part, and then another going bad in a few months. But really, not an expert mechanic. I may hire a local mech to install the parts. But what parts? I have seen polyurethane kits, it that all I need? Which kit? Pretend it was your car, you are on a budget, you had an old car that was not very well taken care of...ever... and now you want to renew the suspension. How would you go about it? What kits or parts need to be replaced? I know this is an open ended request, I am looking for good ideas. Thank you in advance. This post has been edited by homebuilder: Jul 19, 2015 - 1:53 PM |

It's the full kit. You'll have to email them to have them send you a PayPal request for XXX just like I had too. It was 264 shipped for me. Very plesent people as well. I haven't ordered mine yet I'm ordering it Friday but he already sent me the money request. Here is a link. http://www.gt4-racing.eu/index.php/toyota-...spension-bushes Mine was for the front and rear was 264. If your gonna do the front you gotta do the rear. Well I would anyway. That's like only changing one side of brake pads
