Default Polyurethane bushing question!

Hey what's up? I just pretty much finished the Energy Suspension bushing kit on my car. i just have one question to you people who have done this or know about this. The kit of bushings I bought did not come with the Rear Trailing Arm bushings and my question is, Does any one make them??? I am really curious because i swear I've seen them before but I don't remember who makes them... If someone knows can you please respond. thanx

Energy Suspension makes them. You must buy them separately, as the kit does not come with it (obviously ) .

ES makes them as a separate kit. But the Prothanes are easier to install.

Poly kits are fun ain't they???

Energy makes the rear trailing bushing, it's a bitch to install them. You'll need a torch to get them out, it smells, and is just plain nasty.

I did all the suspension components in my 5g, but would not do it again. I'll pay someone next time.

Hey guys thanx for responding to the question i had! Well I'd tell you guys how good or bad they are, but this is on my project car that probly won't be on the road til this coming summer. I'll tell you one thing i did do though. I heard so much about these bushings and how they work so good but they sound like an old squekey wooden floor, what i did was took the control arms to a local machine shop and had grease fittings tapped into them (just in case they do squeek like a b!tch i can inject grease inside them to help out....i got this idea from overboost.com) thats what i did.. hopefully it helps a little, i wont know for awhile but i hope it is worth it. It was just time consuming (the whole install). well other than that, considering my car is lifted in my garage i found the install kind of easy.

btw, you can get the grease in a tube from
www.spohn.net
YES I spelled it right!
Also might be able to get it at a boating dealer.

FWIW, I got a brand new set of those rear trailing arm bushings for my 94 gsr.

Not sure if they're the same or not... if so, make me an offer. They're still in the box, I also got over half my Master Set left... those things are PITA to install
