ive searched and cant find any feed back on these (other then 2 less then favorable reviews on the bird site)
the price is right but is it worth the hassle? mine are pretty mushroomed so i think anything is better then what ive got...but i am on a budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) any feed back on these would be great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Dave |

well i have had these URO bushings in for about a month so i thought i would update this.
these went in almost effortlessly, as long as you heat them right up to the minute you are going to put them on. we used the bottom of the scissor lift with the car on it, and a floor jack by putting the a arm between the 2 and pushing up with the jack. before the install, we went to lowes and purchased some PVC adapters, one size larger then the bushing, and one equal to the size of the bushing (thanks to a member named WesV for that idea) . when installing, we alternated between the 2. we started with the larger size and when the bushing hung and started to roll out, we switched to the smaller diameter pvc coupler to push the bushing itself. SOAP IS YOUR FRIEND (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) theres more info if you see my other thread :socal teeners front end rebuild party well in the last 3 weeks i have driven the car maybe ten times and 20 miles or so. and along with the bushings, i replaced some badly worn boge strut inserts with brand new bilsties. the difference is night and day, superb performance, the car has a front end again...before this it felt like the front would walk at anytime. thanks to all the great socal guys who helped out, and thanks Eric Shea for offering this great low cost solution for us guys trying to have fun on a shoe string budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Dave |
