Bushings. Lost. Need input and advice.

I've read now for a few days and I'm still kind of lost. I know there are tons and tons and tons of bushings that can be replaced on these cars. How ever, after the other day of having it on the lift and doing some work, I noticed there were a few bushings that were completely busted and useless.

For the front, I'm going to go with the ES control arm bushing.. I just cant justify an extra 40 for the Whiteline one that is going to literally do the exact same thing. However, I'm going to go with the roll center kit by them because my ball joints are shot as well..



Heres the main topic of this thread. The rear. If I'm going to go ahead and do coilovers and the fronts, I want to hit the rears. Exactly what bushings should I replace? I've looked at the whitelines and there are so many different options that I'm honestly confused. I was thinking about keeping it simple and just doing the ES rear trailing arm bushing. But then like I said, whiteline has so many other bushings for the rear that I'm honestly kind of lost on whether or not they should be done or if they're even worth it.

Someone please shed a little light.

Are you tracking the EVO

If not, the rear trailing bushing should be all you need unless the others are worn

I would just get the ES master bushing kit so that you could replace just about every bushing and get the whiteline rck for the ball joint.

Sounds good. If you start tracking then you can consider getting the other pieces, i.e. rear bump steer etc.

Thanks for the input, I just didn't know how much "wear and tear" the other bushings typically get as the car does have 132k on it. I'm just trying to be as "preventative" as needed.
