my car currently has 113k on it just looking for some input on what bushings would g enerally be worn or shot by now i am putting on new suspension just curious what items are the first to gi , i also have side motor mount and trans mount inserts

 

The good majority of the "bushings on the car are actually spherical bearings. So that being said I would only replace the trailing arm bushing and rear differential mounts (diff and mustache bar) with poly bushings. The rear toe arms with the bump steer kit from whiteline or equivalent. The rear bushings on the front control arms with the anti lift kits, and the whiteline front bumpsteer kit from whiteline. All others I would only replace with oem or spherical bearings, if you go plain poly on most of them your actually taking a step backwards in performance.

 

This.... your about 7k untill needing a timing belt, make sure to also do the balance shaft belt, all pulleys, tensioner and water pump at the same time.

 

I'm interested in input on this as well, but I don't think this necessarily answers the OP's question. All of these suggestions are modifications to the stock suspension geometry, and may or may not be improvements depending on goals and use of the car. Anti lift kits are not sealed and are not appropriate for areas with a lot of dirt or salt. The bumpsteer kit will increase NVH and is also not desirable for all evo owners. I interpret the OP's question regarding original parts that typically wear out of spec at high milage, not necessarily modification advice. Anyone else have a high mileage car willing to share what suspension bits wore out first?

 

i am certainly in a salty area i had the timing belt service and balance shaft belt done ad 90k since i had a warranty issue orignaly they replaced the timing belt and other items at 30k, i just replaced all the tensioner pulleys within 10k miles. I just want to get the car tightened up and the slop taken care of that comes with wear and mostly steering just seems to not be as crisp as it once was and mor slop but i certainly hear and feel more creeks and just overall sloppynes

 

When I said only what I meant was those are the only ones that can be replaced by the poly bushings and have a performance increase. Then I suggested a few replacements. But you wouldn't see any performance gains with replacing those with plain poly so it's oem or those. I don't think we're worried about nvh anymore with the engine mounts already having been replaced. And judging by the power in the sig he has an exhaust, and so the noise of using poly for the rear diff will be covered by that. But if you simply want a guide to which bushings will be worn after 113k of beating on them that would be all of them. You have quite a few miles the suspension has cycled well over a million times and the bushings are mostly spherical bearings covered in rubber. As for the anti-lift kits I don't know if the old ones used to have no dust cover or if we are looking at different brands but the whiteline alks have a dust cover, and they are serviceable so you can pull them apart clean and reuse them time and time again. As for the steering I dropped the rack and put the steering corrector kit and it feels great.
