my front bushes are all worn and need replacing.

anyone used these before?
there on ebay

 

I'm not a fan of poly bushings. Also not a fan of eBay stuff.

Check out HardRace or PIC Performance.

 

I have them replaced by prothane....Very good product.Go for it.

 

I have the energy kit. Good stuff. Not ebay mechanix619. Always someone retarded referring to eBay in wrong manner

 

I don't trust eBay as a legitimate source for parts.

Also, poly bushings require maintenance and they will wear out faster than hard rubber.

 

I have the hardrace bushings in my front LCA's and they definitely tightened up the front end quite a bit.

I will say that I had to take the arms to a shop and have them torch out the old bushings and then use an air chisel to get the insert out and get the new ones pressed in. Cost me about a hundred bucks in all. 60 for the bushings and 20 an arm to put them in.

 

First off, eBay isn't a "source" for anything. It's a marketplace for multiple sources to sell their goods. It's nothing more than a unified interface. Second off, there's no reason to be scared of using eBay. Nearly every part on my car came from a seller on eBay, but they're all high quality brand names, and I have had zero problems with the parts, or the vendors I bought the parts from. If you're buying from someone with a 3.5 feedback rating, or only 12 feedbacks, you deserve to get ripped off. There are hundreds of thousands of vendors with high ratings, and a proven longevity with eBay.

That said, I have the Prothane "Master" kit in my car, and love it. Proper install, and proper maintenance (add 15 minutes to your bi-yearly wax), and you'll be fine with them. If you're too lazy to take 15 minutes to keep them in good condition, you probably shouldn't be working on a car at all.

 

there are a lot of people who find poly bushings make noise, I have installed a ton of poly bushings at the shop I work at and with proper lubrication have had no problems, with the added bonus that poly bushings have less give to them and cause many parts which they insulate to respond better ie: rack mount bushings, sway bar bushings....
