Talk to jeff Owen aka kiwi.
The trailing arm bushes he sells are great, and the whole arm is easily adjusted for toe'ing in and out.
I have them in my race car and I wouldn't use any other brand.

PCI spherical trailing arm bushings.

moualu

I heard they not good because the water and dust go in the bearing so they dont have long life did you have it and is it true

I wouldn't pick them for daily driving

If the car is driven an occasional trackday I would pick something like hardrace bushings. Stay away from energy suspension rta bushings they are know to bind.

However for pure trackracing there isn't a substitute for spherical bushings!!

OEM with the new formula.

If you are more serious then look into spherical.

Ok is it more good polyeuretan bushing ? Like energi bushing or protane or megan racing I want a full bushing the oem have empty hole in it

moualu

I want too now a second thing I will bye spc adjustable toe link but im not shure if spc is good did you now more good brand ?

The OEM bushing is not a solid block for a reason. The bushing has to be stiff in the fore-aft direction as it's the main bush locating the trailing arm in this direction, but allow compliance along a transverse axis (to allow the toe link to control toe) and be compliant about a longitudinal axis (to allow camber change during bump/droop).

I'd use OEM or PCI, that's what I have in my cars. Can't comment on longevity of the PCI yet.

Ok so is more good to go with oem then polyeuretan. And whate you think aboute spc toe link ?

There is a few options that are rubber like the one you posted. There is pic/suja, hardrace/megan?, or the uber pricey mugen one. All those retain articulation but are stiffer than stock. If this is going on a DD/lapping day car I would stay away from spherical options as they do not have the lifespan of the rubber options. Poly causes unwanted binding issues that can be scary on the track.

Hello fellow Montrealer

Like mentioned before, forget the poly stuff. They are trash. Not only do they cause binding issues, buy the hole in the middle also tends to ovalize in no time.

Brand new OEM bushings would be a huge upgrade when compared to your 15+ year old OEM bushings that came with the car. I would go OEM if I were you, but mainly because their life span is known, and I seriously hate disassembling that part of the car. I am sure the harder bushings that are available out there will also do the job, but with an unknown/unproven life span.

Ok thanks every one I will go with new oem for the momen and whene it will be only a lapping car I will buy spherical
