Do you want Energy Suspension Poly Bushings? READ HERE.

[Grimsta]

I lubed them up for installation. There are instructions in the bushing packs. I believe I have a brief instructional on my Myspace.
Once I check my price sheet today I'll give you guys exact prices, but I believe our Zankoku price for the set is about $100 plus or minus like $5

 

[sneakypete]

ill order a set from you today. just get me some prices and im down.
good timing.... i can install these as im putting in my new rotors, pads and tierod spacers

 

[ValgeKotkas]

Grimsta, I'll be waiting impatiently

 

[Satan]

Ordered some today, hoping to have by the weekend.

 

[Grimsta]

By the weekend? HA HA HAAAA they still have to made son!
Valge- you've been PM'ed

 

[Satan]

Sorry... DM sending out tomorrow. Ineed to be done this weekend, if at all possible.

 

[Doward]

You may already have been contacted but just wanted to make sure. At this point we have just made the front & rear control arm bushings. Front set #8.3126 & rear set #8.3127. Next would be the rack bushings.

That arrived today via email.

 

[alloyguitar]

alright, so I didn't see a definitive answer on this:

Is this a COMPLETE set? I noticed the prices on grimsta's vendor thread, which are 2x.xx and 3x.xx

I'm guessing that the 100 dollars you're talking about would be for the whole set, correct?

...just making sure.

 

[Grimsta]

Yeah, I have my post-it today. The fronts are $50 and the rears are $70 to be exact. So for $120 you get the whole complete set. All control arms, toe arms, traction rods, spindle bushings.

 

[ValgeKotkas]

Like I asked in my PM - how long it'll take from an order to produce them? (just so everyone knows ).
That possibly decides whether I order 2 or 3 sets

Everything else in my PM

By the weekend? HA HA HAAAA they still have to made son!

It would be nice if someone would stock a few set of these so one wouldnt need to wait for them to be made. Just an idea?

I'll check on that. I'll be sure to keep 2 full sets in stock.

The entire bushing set is ~120 bucks? how did it go from 750 to 120? i had to have missed something....

 

[sneakypete]

when was it $750?

 

[Satan]

Those were the nylon Unobtanium sets... The polys are much less expensive.

The group buy was togh to pull off at the time, because they were about $750 a set. The nylons are harder material and also required the zerk fittings to be added, for routine greasing to keep the creaking-type-of-noises down.

 

[Grimsta]

Yeah full front & rear set for $120. From here though. I dont know what others are selling them for

 

[Satan]

...Anyone know of any easily-found shops like Firestone, Sears, Meineke, etc that have the ability to press out the old bushings? I don't want to mess with torching, etc anyways, but the performance/machine shops aren't very convenient/near me.

Thanks

 

[Grimsta]

I know Meineke & Midas could. Just grab your phone book and start callin places.

 

[Satan]

Anyone have the links to the old bushing removal threads? Dropped off all the parts and the shop called late in the day to say they could not press 'em out, after they said they could.

I guess I'll have to cut & torch after all... no one's open to do this on Sundays. Anyone use a hole-saw attachment on a drill?

 

[Asterix]

Anyone use a hole-saw attachment on a drill?

I did. You need a serious drill, like a good 1/2" plug-in one, and a hole saw you expect to not use for anything else. The saw gets covered in molten rubber that'll never come off. It takes several minutes per bushing. A cordless drill won't do it unless you have a bunch of batteries lined up or are willing to wait for recharges. I have a Milwaukee 1/2" drill I pretty much purchased for the job (though it has been quite useful for other jobs since). The rubber bushings are quite tough.
