Just want to tell you all I just got this kit installed and it did wonders to my ride quality. The adhesion and connection to the road is night and day with the new bushings. The old ones literally were gone. 2 Thumbs up for the kit and easy install by my mechanic.

Company: Prothane
Part #: 18-207-BL
Price: $66.98 out the door at JEGS
TIP: Be sure and call in to DOUBLE CHECK if its in stock
What you get: Complete FRONT upper and lower control arm bushings for both sides.

What it did for my ride:

1. Eliminated wheel hopping and shutter.
2. Increased adhesion and connection with road
3. Eliminated the famous CLUNK/Rattle sound going medium speed over bumps and dips.
4. Eliminated the unnecessary wheel arching when stopping and reversing.
5. Increased stability at all speeds
6. Increased camber correction which also made my wheels flush so thats a plus!

Negatives:

1. You will FEEL the road more
2. Alignment is needed after install!

Hope this helps some of you that are still fencing sides about replacing these little bastards that destroy the ride quality.

Regards,

Nick

 

I've been reviewing options for LCA bushings, and this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you for your clarity.

One question: how badly is the alignment needed afterwards?

 

Thanks for sharing, I will be picking up a set soon.

 

Thank you for this I'm ordering some today!

 

Depends how bad your old bushings were and how meticulous you were when marking and tightening down the camber bolts.

You can always drive on a poorly aligned car, it's just going to kill your tires and ball joints in the long run.

 

Will these work on a 1998? , I only see 92-96..

 

^^^no..i believe the 98+ are a lil different. There was a member on here that tried n failed...so i suggest you get the ones for your specific yr.


Well after seeing this review i guess its time to install mine..thanks OP

 

What about a 97?

 

I don't see they make a kit for the 98+...

 

Ordered my set couple days go. Should b arriving in next couple days. !!! Then it's my turn to get them intalled !!

 

^ What he said...

I can't believe no one makes em for 97+ years , I guess its oem only.

 

Yo! City knight ! Hold on to those. I'm gonna b needing another set for my friends sc. If you still have them, I'll pick it up from u..

 

^ Well I just emailed the dude, tellin' 'em the purchase was a mistake (but it's eBay, so he might just send 'em anyway, in hopes I get lazy and don't return 'em...)
If he does, I'll PM you.
