Re: [Wack j3studio Question #63] Why No Rubber Suspension Bushings?

Subject: Re: [Wack j3studio Question #63] Why No Rubber Suspension Bushings?

I wanted to refresh my suspension last winter. I'd spent a fair amount of time researching and looking for parts, I could not find anything to replace the old bushings other than poly. I found that the bushings in my car had been previously replaced with poly and the ones on the upper end of the camber rods were very worn.

After much reflection, I decided to replace the camber rods, camber rods and toe rods with the Banski Suspension package. They are complete replacement of these parts with new ones that incorporate Teflon lined heim joints with full adjustability. I replaced them, the bushings were replaced with new poly ones as were the bushings on the spring to knuckles.

Far as I can tell, you basically have two options: replace your bushings with new poly ones or go with something like I did (the Banski Suspension kit). I will say that I really like the Banski kit, it really handles well on those curvy windy country roads. I won't say the softness of ride is neither better nor worse than it was as those should be controlled by the spring and shocks, which were unchanged at that time.
