yep just like the title says. just got the energy suspension whole master kit and trailing arm bushings and mount inserts. gonna try to start at 8 am tomorrow morning. wish me luck. what to expect?? i wanna slap all of it on to see how much difference it is. i know its gonna be hard ill take some pics.. k cya

 

expect a lot of cursing.

The more research I do about the trailing arm bushing, the less I like them. The car's just not going to handle right without some compliance there. Most people suggest sticking with the stock piece.

 

what do u mean without some compliance there?? cuz the guy i bought it from sold it to me with the master kit so might as well install them.. lol.. but yeah can u explain what some compliance there means?? lol

 

here is a very detailed thread about the problem.

In a nutshell, the bushing is nothing more than the axis of the trailing arm. By limiting it's movement, you bascially change the geometry of the suspension in a negative way. If you read down a bit in that thread, someone says, "I wondered why my car was totally unpredictable".

Have fun.

 

its all in. runs pretty good good imo. it bounces more though. but i like it. got the energy suspension mount inserts too. and its not even bad. (the vibration isnt bad) all in all my car runs better.. one thing though i havent put in the trailing arms yet. its too hard. lol. but i need some new ones my trailin arm bushings are gone.

any easy way i can take out the trailling arm bushing?? ill post pics if u guys want lol..

 

egturbo, how did you replace the upper control arm bushings? the ones by the anchor? the manual tells me to place it in a vise and "drive" it out. the damn thing won't budge. any advice?

I installed my master kit too myself. It was alot of work, but i personally think it was well worth it and was happy w/ the results.
