Swaybar Bushings-- $12.99 -- Energy Suspension-- Installed and awesome--

[MJHSC400]

What's up--

I have been going through the entire suspension save struts-- as they're fine-- and my upper ca bushings are fine too--

I have replaced --

LCA Bushings -- Daizen installed
End links -- Supra TT's from rockauto.com
Swaybar Bushings-- $12.99 for Energy Suspension 1 1/8" poly from autozone
Steering Rack Bushings-- daizens

(did the motor mounts too which is a nice [mod])


About The bushings--

All these upgrades have made a HUGE difference in the way this car drives and handles-- it's now quiet, no clunks, pops, cla-dunks's, or duddadudda's -

When I found out that I could just install the energy suspension universals WITH the supplied brackets with integrated grease points-- A nice upgrade in itself-- What's more? $12.99 -- nuff said -- perfect fit--

All you have to do-- the brackets need to be ground (a little) to the length of the oem brackets, and round the edges-- The oem brackets WONT fit the energy bushings-- sorry.. Who cares, the new one has a grease port-- way better.

The install is easy-- and you get grease points with it-- I couldn't believe how cheap this is to do-- you just need a grinder or a friend with a grinder. Either will work, even if your friend doesn't...

Results of the front suspension rebuild --

The SC I'm driving is old for sure, but has lots of life left for running the roads a good few more years until I can get that blue 996 -- (more on that later)

The tightness and handling have been not only restored but improved on-- Between the daizen rack and lca bushings, and the super stiff swaybar bushings combined with new supra links, the car stays FAR more flat and controlled in a hard (hard!) turn--

Tramlining!!!

I got none-- It's gone after replacing both the end links and the sway bushings-- Imagine that-- soft swaybar bushings causing tramlining--

The Ugly

The factory bushings are SOFT!! All of em--
I'll be doing all the rears next year, but will try to use a universal for the rear swaybar bushings too in the next week or so--

The soft factory bushings suck anyway, and we bought these cars as they LOOKED like sports cars-- Well-- you can get them that way with a little bit (alot) of work--

--Summarized--
DAMM My car feels a hell of a lot better than the day I drove it home-- Now I want to keep it--
