Are energy suspension front and rear lower arm bushings worth it? I'm not talking about the brand, but in general, are those kind of bushings worth it? Do they actually make a good difference in handing?


Thanks

I think the main difference is in changing the old beat up pieces with anything better.
Don't know many people that would do it to a newer ride (unless it came free er something)

Yes and no.

No - They squeak. They make the suspension squeak a bit. Even with the grease, they squeak. A way to avoid those annoying squeaks... buy a louder stereo system.

Yes - Those old beat-up bushings need something fresh. They make the car stiffer. The steering rack bushings make the steering a bit crisper.

Overall:
I would get them. I got them in my CRX. Definitely worth the price. Easy to install as well (more on this if you ask). If you're older and want a nice, smooth ride, then don't bother.

Yeah, I think I may throw the "master kit" on my 90 DX...I am going to be doing a rear disc conversion so I might as well replace those bushings.

Hey kam, where do the steering rack bushings go? I've taken entire CRX's apart, but I can't find where those things are supposed to go.

[EDIT]After just posting this, I think I may know for the four little ones, do they go around where the bolts go through the rack?[/EDIT]

Yep.
If i remember correctly
There's two bolts on the driver side that hold the steering rack up, there's two bushings that go around the bolts.

There's a bracket on the passenger side that you remove and wrap the bigger bushing around that and reinstall the bracket.
