anyone know where i could get some poly bushings that will replace all 3 bushings in the rear lower control arms? thanks for the help!

 

I think works sells a ton of bushings. Check their forum and/or website.

I also think GTWORX sells some, but not sure what all they offer.

 

Why would you want to replace all 3 bushings? The center is the only non-spherical type bushing. You will only be adding extra compliance by changing the outer 2. There are several companies selling center bushings though, Works, Energgy Suspension and AMS.

 

i'm not sure which, but one of them is busted from me installing my springs per evomoto's write-up, not knowing that torqueing the lower arm bolts with the car in the air instead of on the ground could cause them to bust. so do you think that the center one is the suspect? and how in the hell am i supposed to torque the bolts on a lowered evo with it on the ground? thanks all.

 

we have the whiteline suspension bushings in stock. please check out our for sale thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=234903

Please give us a call to order! all bushings are in stock and ready to go!

Thanks

 

I am assuming you are using jackstands in a garage, so to torque them under load all you do is jack up the lca/knuckle at that corner (without the wheel on) until you are at your static ride height and torque all the bolts. Pretty simple really.

The only bushing that may get stressed from not torqueing at ride height is the center b/c it is rubber and will be in constant deflection. The outer spherical ones could (theoretically) turn all day long, except for the outer rubber boot, which does nothing structurally.

thanks for the tip, wish that was in the write-up so i could've avoided this. anyway, by center you mean the one the shock mounts through right? i assume to replace them, i'd have to remove the whole arm and take it somewhere to be pressed out/in? thanks for the help.

 

Correct. We carry all Whiteline and SuperPro bushings.

Yes, they need to be pressed out carefully and the new ones press in quite easily (sometimes by hand, usually a vise will do it too). Should be a quick and easy job for any machine shop.
