#29093, "replacing bushings?"


          

hey guys, one've my bushings on my rear suspension is gone. it's the one right above the tire where the two links meet. i'll try to take a pic later but i'm pretty sure you know which one i mean. i can hear it clunking around when i go over bumps and stuff. how hard is it to replace that bushing and should i get a kit and replace some others while i'm at it? some've the other ones are looking a bit ragged as well...

Do you mean the control arm.

the horseshoe shaped thing

if you want to go oem. you have to replace the entire part not just the bushing.

the one that connects the horseshoe shaped thing and the curvy thing. i can't find it in CAPS for some reason... the rear suspension section only has the shocks an stuff... none of the arms/links

I dont think Satan sells the bushings on their own but you can get them from Energy Suspension.

so is it the "rear shock upper bushing set"?

or is it only available in the complete master bushing set?

you will prolly have to buy the whole set and the bushing is a press fit so you might need to take it to a shop unless you have a 12/20 ton press.

Jegs offers the master bushing kit for 95-99 eclipses for $112.00, PTuning.com offers for 138.95...

I understand that more than likely most of the bushings will need to be completed in a shop. Which ones might I be able to do myself, shops are expensive.

Im commenting on this due to a squeek that has recently surfaced in my left front side when the car hits a bump.

I have had my tokicos on for about 3 years now and I dont believe they are bad.
