Anyone have a list of suspension bushings to replace?

[Guest Anonymous]

Thinking of going through the whole suspension and replacing the rubber stuff. Probably with stock rubber, but if there's areas where other material is better for a street car, let me know. Is there a material in between rubber and poly? (When I did the alternator, there were stock rubber bushings, hard red polyurethane, and a mid-level material that was black (Bosch-made, I think).)

Thanks,

www.gruntsbushings.com. First set was lost in the mail, but he made good and sent me another set from Australia.

Bushings I used:

Gruntsbushings--control arm to subframe(2), radial arm to front subframe(2), radial arm to control arm(2), and front sway bar end link bushings(2).

Stock/OEM from Maximillian's: rear cross-member bushings (2 big ones on ends)

Rear trailing arm bushings (4)

Rear sway bar end links with bushings (2).

I found a used diff hanger bracket with decent bushings that was useable, mine was shot.

Also replaced tranny mount, engine mounts (left and right), ball joints, rear spring seats.

Wow what a difference!!!

I believe CNPR sells/used to sell a set of grey or black bushings that are graphite impregnated polyeurathane (softer than hard red). I have hard reds all around (except diff bushings), and have no issues with them. You're welcome to cruise on over to the big D and try out the hard reds in my tii some time.

I drilled them all like swiss cheese and pushed them out by hand, sometimes using a scredriver and mallet to get them started. I've done bushings a few times before, and built a bushing extracter from allthread washers and nuts, but the swiss cheese method is easier.
