so i went to get a front end alignment the other day and they could do it because i needed new bushings in my lower control arms and so i went out and ordered the complete kit for my car i finished puting in the front kit all the bushings look awesome and **** and i get the whole front end put back together and then took my car out for a test drive and since i dont have power steering you feel a lot more of the road than you would with power steering, anyways the bushing kit is deffinatley worth every penny the car handles awesome and it even came with new bushings for my sway bar. ive never been more satisfied with a product.

is ur car daily driven? does it make it a rougher ride?

jspresso

yes a daily driver in new england so winter is gonna be harsh theres already snow fall, and the ride is like a million times smoother than stock the car grips the ground so good its insane.

Did you put the rear trailing arm bushing's in??

Nova_Dust

Queaks more when they run dry on grease. Make sure you grease the bushing when you have a chance.

spankey167

had them on my accord when i had it.... repsonse time is great! But im going for an even better bushing this time around for my eg. Im going to go with the delrin bushings Stiff as fack!

blkgsr03

i have same bushings in red. they make noise, make sure u grease them.

jspresso

i did and that bushing lube sucks *** make sure you use rubber throw away gloves or somthing and i havent done the rear yet i just did the front so i could get a front end alignment

jspresso

and yes they are the red ones i wouldnt go with the blackones only because its not very comforting that there self lubed

jspresso

i got them from my local auto part store cause i get kind of a deal

AnToNy

my hatch is driven daily and i just wanted to make sure the ride smoothness is too harsh, but then again i have a lowered suspension and smaller series tire.

****! i already got a set of front bushings. but the thing is i cant put it in.. did you go to a garage or just DIY.. if u did it urself, what kind of tools did you use and how long it took ya?

civtegra_hybrid

how much did the master kit cost?? and do you know if you can re use them???? I have some on my rear lca's on my eg6, and I want to put my gsr sway bar in the rear, but I need to change the lca's to fit the gsr sway bar, but I still want the bushing's, is it possible to change them out????? if there used.

I used sockets to take each suspension piece off. Then I used a center punch, and a hammer to tear the rubber bushing out. I also used a propane torch to heat the rubber, and make it brittle. That takes a while, after all the rubber was out I used a jig saw to cut thru the outer metal sleeve. Once the I cut thru, I used the center punch to bend the inner sleeve inwards till it fell out. It's a very long, and tedious process. A press would of made life easier, but it can be done without it.

jspresso

i did it myself its not to hard if you have a press with the right sleeve pushersto get the bushing sleeves out they do not and will not come out by using pick and mallet so do try it, i did and they did not budge at all, so i took apart my lcas and had the sleeves pressed out at the auto parts store that i use. and as for prices i got my kit for 129 with tax im not to sure if it was a deal but they usually give me one so i didnt complain it wasnt to expensive. and as for them being reusable i wouldnt see why not , just becareful not to put any slices in them and make sure to relube them. just to double check i would try to contact the company to see if its ok..

jspresso

also an impact wrench makes the job faster and easier and if you use a jigsaw to cut the sleeves make sure you file down the burr marks on the lcas because they can and will make small cuts in you new bushings so thats not advised. sorry just gettem pressed out at a machine shop or snyone you know that has a press

i got black ones no sqeak at all. took me an hour each side using hand tools. all you need is a vice, hack saw, hammer and screw driver to take them out.

jspresso

how many miles are on your car and it all depends on the little problems you run into, if your like me i always loose ****** tools and or break them im glad i have craftsman tools cause they replace them

hayabusa160

over 3k on it so far

meccA's eg6

i bought mine on ebay for 110!

do you still have to lube up teh black ones b4 you put them in?

hayabusa160

yea u still gotta lube them

Paprika

What exactly are we talking about here?

Is this a suitable inexpensive upgrade to a stock suspension which yelds a better ride and better control? If so tell me exactly what this product is, where you bought it (be specific!) and for how much is it?

Thanx!
