Hey guys i've done my searching and read up on bushings. I am building up a 91 crx for road race only, and i want to know which bushings to get, as i have read that the master kits include unessecary bushings like for the shocks and what not. I know that all the lca's minus the rear upper are needed along with steering, what else?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

Scratch that i got my answer, and for future searchers i got it at

Well, since I have never purchased the kit as a whole, I'll use suspension.com's list of what the kit includes and someone can correct me if this is wrong:

Front & rear control arm bushings(rear: lowers only)
front strut rod bushings front & rear shock bushings
front end links
steering rack bushings
manual transmission shifter stabilizer bushings
ball joint and tie rod end boots

 

just don't use those ball joints/tie rod end boots... they suck.

 

oh do they? whats wrong with them?

 

The tie rod/lower balljoint boots aren't too bad but the one for the upper control arm is horrible.
Basically the boots don't seal as well as oem.

 

my advice is to replace your bushings with OEM only.

 

I'm in the same boat. I drove my car the other day(haven't driven it in two weeks cuz wife keeps taking it) and when I switch lanes on the freeway, the body just rolls and feels like it's floating every which way. I know my trailing arm bushings are bad but didn't know it would do that. Since I am down there I was thinking of changing everything that looks worn.

Is it because of what eda6 said? That they don't seal well?

Do you have any other reccommendations or tips on other bushings? I did a search also and no real help found.

Is that with all of them or just certain ones? Also you wouldn't happen to have a diagram of the suspension and part #s off hand of the OEM pieces would you?

Thanks

I didn't mean to hijack but it is somewhat relavent

Thanks again

 

balljoint boots are not bushings. and ive already said my peace about them in the link above.

look in the faq at the top of the forum for online dealers. they have picture catalogs and prices available.
