I'm looking at replacing my springs / shocks / struts, and since i'm down there, is there anything i should replace suspension wise, that maybe worn out.

Please provide links on where to buy and what i should replace

thanks

 

How many miles do you have on your car? The front lower control arm bushings are notorious for wearing out and seriously degrading ride quality. The rear CA bushings wear too, as well as the front upper CA bushings, but they seem to take substantially longer to get to the condition of the lower fronts. Steering rack bushings might be a close second. All these are searchable here.

Well, they're easy to check, but I'd say you're probably due.

 

where is a good place to get them at good prices? ebay?

thx

 

The cheapest so far for rack/pinion steering bushing set is from Daizen at around 40 not including shipping: http://www.tmengineering.net/suspens...n/make/sc.html . However, prothane sells the suspension bushings front and rear for much cheaper. FRONT: http://performance.yoparts.com/i-142511.aspx REAR: http://performance.yoparts.com/i-142524.aspx

I actually just ordered the daizen steering rack bushing and CA bushings front and rear from prothane. Less than $200 for everything. Awesome!!!

bump stops/dust boots, when I replaced my suspension they fell apart or were worn and needed to be replaced.

The rear upper control arm bushings are a PITA to change. If you decide to this, I would lower the whole rear subframe of the car. Its real tight in there. Its what I did and made life alot easier, if you have the tools and jackstands.
