Looking for Polyurethane Bushings

GranDamned · 04-23-2007, 12:01 PM

With dead end internet searches and no help from the local auto stores, I am lost on where I can find some polyurethane bushings for a 99 GA. RSM had them back in the day before I was ready for this, now I seem to be up the creek. Anyone know if theres a part number for these and if they can be interchanged with saaay f-bod type bushings or something of that sort. Any help is much appreicated

What was it, the RKSport front lower control arm bushings from a Cavalier work so I've heard. Anybody please chime in.

The rest of the rubber components, still trying to figure that 'ish out. If someone gave me part numbers before for the rest I lost them all.

I also heard the rumor about J-body bushings for the front arms. Never heard it confirmed or seen pics though. The rears there is nothing. Since you can't get them from RSM/Zspec anymore you're SOL. Not that I've had any problems with my bushings from them, but I wouldn't send any more money their way anyway because of all their other problems with the n-body community. Are you really sure you want poly bushings anyway? They aren't easy to install, and it's a rough, noisy ride with them. Most people wouldn't like them.

well i figured i got the eibachs, the agx shocks, front and rear stb, front and rear sway bars, the last level is the bushings, the prokit springs are a little mushy for my likings in the start of a turn, theyre stiff as hell and i feel almost everything in the road but have just a bit of flop entering a turn, also this car is not my daily driver and i would love the suspension to be a bit tighter

I believe Tejohnson used the cavalier A-arm bushings.....

You know I want them. Screw the noise and roughness, try riding in a 240sx setup for drift competition. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.

We've gotta find out the part numbers.

Pretty sure carcustoms.com has them but they are closed today.

no check out MP racings store, they have the bushing sets for $50...and the end links will have to be custom because they will throw the susp off if you use any that have a bushing over 1 inch. thats about all the rubber pieces on the front except for the spring seats. but i think those can be measured and sourced from ES...the rears are another story, but those may be the J body susp again if anyone makes them. thats about it. the only other rubber on the front is the tie rod ends and ball joints, but the boots on those can be measured and sourced from ES also.

I stand corrected.

Someone Figure This Out For The Rear Suspension!

gectek · 05-02-2007, 09:42 PM

i have a spare rear arm laying around, i can burn out the rubber and the metal bushing and measure it and see if ES has anything in that size...or another bushing source.
