Hi guys - I know how it is commonly done including Ian’s great video. Is there a reason why not to use bushing grease instead of softsoap?
So you want the bushing NOT to move or rotate ones installed? I assume that is a reason but wanted to ask. Thanks. |

I completely agree with @Superhawk996 on this one.
I never recommend spherical, delrin, or bronze lined bushings for street use. Way to many possibilities for damage or loss of control. There's no argument that EPMD production bushings do the job just fine for production cars. I'm always looking for the best component I can get when it comes to fixing or upgrading my cars. Will I give up a tiny bit of ride quality for better handling? Yes, all day every day. Am I willing to maintain my car every 30K miles? I have to do it with my other 3 vehicles I own why not my 914? I don't have to make the compromise that the OEM did.
