Can I get some clarification on the bump steer bushings? The pic on this one shows this to be the bumpsteer bushing

but...

this one shows that its the same bushing minus not having an ofset inner piece. Are the pics labeled correctly? Are they both the bumpsteer bushings with just different options?

 

The offset insert bushing is for the bump steer and even though they look close in the pictures the trailing arm bushing is much bigger than the toe bushing.

I havent even bothered with the toe bushing tough, the amount it actually adjusts the inner mount is insignificant to how much we lower the rear of the car. Negligible benefits. The tailing arm bushing though looks about as solid as a stock front motor mount, huge holes/gaps in the rubber and tons of flex/squish.

 

Thanks. I ordered both the bumpsteer and trailing bushings but just wanted to make sure I ordered the correct ones because I saw what looked like two versions of the bumpsteer bushings. I assume we dont reuse the metal spacers on the ends of the oem bumpsteer bushing?

 

do the rear diff and diff support bracket bushings(what ever its called) as well. This will take the clunk out of the car when and if your shifting hard and completes the rear.

 

sorry to hihjack this thread. lol



My evo isnt a dd car and dont care about noises. Is performance wise that much better to get the aluminum solid side support from buschur, or just get the poly inserts? Im not talking about the mustache piece but the diff side supports.

 

I would just get the poly inserts. I have them and can't complain. The only reason i could not justify buying the aluminum Bushcur side supports, is because the cost does not reflect the benefit from the few pounds you save. Also, I don't know if the inserts in the Buschur supports are replaceable, something to think about. I've ridden in a car with them, and couldn't tell the difference between mine and his lol.. They both obtain the same results IMO, so I think it's a matter of money or if you have like sub 2900lb goals

 

how about doing the rear control arm bushings??

 

OEM is very good already. You can buy new OEM ones if yours have gone bad. Otherwise, Robispec full aluminum bushings would, imo, be the only other option.

 

Do you think the bumpsteer bushing change makes a noticeable difference on stock springs?

 

In theory the stock bushing is better than urethane. Its spherical so you have nearly no sticktion and great articulation. In reality, you probably would never notice the difference and poly may last longer.

With the rubber I run, I'd pay the extra to replace a bad one with another OEM.

 

hmmm i see
well i will be doing

rear trailing arm links
rear diff bushings
anti roll kit on the front.

How about on front lower control arms? would getting the perrin anti lift kit or getting a bushing for the control arm add any benefit on top of the anti roll kit?

 

Yes.

I know Robispec and Cusco offer solid spherical bushings where the Evo should have them.

 

Can someone confirm that I am looking at the correct rear trailing arm bushings? I believe these are the ones: http://www.gtworx.com/index.php/whit...-bushings.html

However are these the same exact ones: http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/w...kit-W0594.html

If so why the $80 difference in price?

 

Buy the one from AMS. Same one I'm purchasing.

 

OK thank you. Upon further inspection it appears that they are indeed the same exact bushings SKU # W0594. I was just a little hesitant since there was a significant difference in price.

So far I have the following bushings waiting for install:
Whiteline Roll Center Correction
Whiteline Rear Bumpsteer

I will be purchasing the Whiteline Rear Trailing Arm Bushing W0594. While I am installing the RCCK should I also install the Front Lower Control Arm Bushing shown here? http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/w...kit-W0593.html

I understand that certain bushings are actually a downgrade to the OEM Spherical bushings so before I purchase the Front Lower Control Arm Bushing I want to make sure that isnt one of those "downgrades"
