Poly Urethane Bushings and RRM

I wonder if. RRM could put together a Poly Urethane Bushing kit from all the misc bushings that energy suspension offers. They don't have there own kit at Energy but I am sure that a kit could be put together. When lowering the lancer seems like the rubber bushings just get eaten up.

I think its, the bar that links the A arm with the front anti sway, its really getting smashed in there. I also have so odd crackling sounds that come from my suspension up front when breaking and some other odd times. I believe its because the rubber components are maxed out. here is a link to look at it http://www.lroot.com/mike/lancer/

I have an 03 OZ.

I just bought some OEM Bushings (8 total) from the dealer for the rear Upper & Lower control arms (left & right side got some serious sqeeking going on back there) for about 119.00. I looked everywhere to try and get aftermarket bushings, so I could get the whole car done, but had no luck.

What if we start a write up for a group buy or somthing to RRM?

Dumb question - why would RRM do that?

Contact Energy Suspension and ask them to put together a kit from "all the misc. bushings they sell..."

hope you know you might have to have some of those bushings pushed in by a machine. I dont know on the lancer but a lot of cars control arm bushings and stuff they have to be pressed... just a heads up

Keep contacting them. Get other people to contact them. Start emailing them. Petition them.

Companies have to know that people will buy things, or else they'll never make it.

You can't just ask RRM to do everything for you...

here is the link to the thread....even if you have to press them, if someone could measure all of the bushings and compare it to the ES ones, maybe we could make a list and use them for referrence.

Where you planning on sending them to? Maybe see if they can sell those bushings seperatly for the rest of us owners...that way we can simply purchase and have them pressed in at our individual locations.

please be sure to keep us informed...best of luck!!!!
