Default Energy Buishing Install...Almost done....

Damn who would have thought a bushing install would take this long.. :P but after about 2 days I am finally reassembling the suspension.

After putting all the bushings in I noticed a BIG change in the suspension, the arms actually move up and down freely, w/o shocks, they also just kind of hang fully extended without the strut assembly to hold them up, I cant wait to get this car on the road, along with new tokico rears (already on the front) and a new rear crossmember/steering rack. Damn Im excited for the day I can let go of the steering wheel with no hands, and not go in a ditch!

So anyone else do this? how is the car going to drive?

I haven't did this, but I was thinking about it. A whole kit is a little over $100 isn't it? I was planning on the motor mounts and I already have the shifter stabalizer mounts, but I am waiting until I get new shocks/springs to install it. If it makes that much of a difference in handling I will probably need it the way I drive lol...

Beerbong dont do the motor mounts unless you dont care about crazy vibration.I took mine off couse its my dailey driver and I was going nuts with all the noise.Plus everything rattles now that I took them off.You can nottice a big difference when you shift(motor doesnt flop back and forth) but I wouldnt reccomend them for a dailey driver.

I hope so too, I haven't heard anything about the bushings deteriorating like that, and frankly after doing that install, dont know why this guys went so south.

It says he used "Stock Hf" grease The kit comes with some MEAN silicon grease. Also seems like his set up is a bit coroded to start with....

...Also the kit is pretty tedious to install, the key is to not even mess with the bushing removal just take it all to a machinist.

Also I spent extra time polishing all the pivot points and making sure it is all torqued to spec. (I am a bit ---- retentive)
