Top Mounts/Bushings

Anyone out there make solid or improved top mounts/ strut bushings that don't have all the camber adjustments etc.?

I'm trying to do a pretty mild street set up but can't seem to find any that don't have all of the flashy features and cost $400.

I'm going to get new OE Billstein's and Swift Spec R springs if that helps your input.

Wow, these are a good deal. I believe stock is more money!

Thanks, that's helpfull.

Can someone chime in on what I should replace out of that laundry list of busings in the rear assembly?

Everything has 100K on it now.

For the rear suspension, the most common ones to replace are the trailing arm and rear lower arm bushings. The upper control arm bushings are actually bonded in place stock and the amount of rubber is minimal. Those can be sourced but are expensive.

It isnt marked in the picture ( toe control arm is in the picture though ) but the toe control arm has the same bushing as the rear lower control arm. SuperPro sells two versions of it.

Lastly the bottom bushing for the shock on the rear lower control arm.

All the rest are spherical. They can be sourced with difficulty but should not need replacing.

Word of caution...the ball joints are not sourceable separate from the arms. Test them to ensure they will not need replacing. On the bright side all the rear ball joint boot covers are the same part number and are replaceable ( RussellM at Mitsubishiparts.net) Please note they have a different part for the front suspension ball joint boot covers. Make sure Russell gets the right one to you. :-)

All bushings will require pressing in out
