Bushings!

My car currently has 120k miles on it and I recently had to replace a worn out tie-rod end. That got me wondering what other bushings pieces would you guys recommend to replace to get the factory or maybe a bit of an upgrade on the suspension?

I guess it would be worth noting the only suspension work that has been done is lowered with gf210 springs. Everything else is stock.

If youre just DD'ing the EVO, replacing all the bushes in the front & rear control arms & rear trailing arm would be a start. Many here seem to use Energy Susp master bush kit for the EVO

If youre tracking the EVO, I would do the same but use WL. See here:

Do they happen to have the whiteline kit in a package deal like energy susp?

That is the kit I found that has everything.

Ive not seen a master kit for the WL but the no. you found for the ES appears to be correct (5.18115)

Ok, cool it'll be an upgrade regardless and it's a fair price for what you get, thank you!

Get the black bushing kit--- it's graphite impregnated and will have less tendency to squeak- if you do red, then be prepared. FYI-- good luck.

I just did all my bushings and went with Super Pro everything. I didn't buy a master kit though (mainly because it comes with the RHD steering rack bushings) but bought everything separately.

Replaces every bushing on the car except for the ones that are already spherical from factory (front LCA rear bushings, rear LCA inner and outer bushings are spherical so you should only replace them with OEM).
