suspension bushing kits

By stuckagain
- Sat Mar 31, 2012 9:09 pm #300496 Im in the market for a bushing kit. Can someone point me in the right direction for a good quality kit that includes every suspension bushing? Ive been looking at energy suspension but they dont include alot of the bushings. Thanks a bunch in advance!! :thumb:

But the energy suspension kit is the most complete I think the only things missing might be the steering rack, and the sway bar since the dx, cx, vx didn't come with sway bars up front and they do not make a manual rack bushing kit.

But there is hard race, prothane, and energy suspension are the only ones I know of that do kits that take care of most of it.

Have you or anyone heard or used HARDRACE bushings. They make a kit I founf that is 95% complete! I just want to make sure the company isnt some china garbage.

Steering rack bushings were included and so were sway bar end links and shift linkage bushings.

What about compliance bushings? Every site Ive looked at energy suspension kits the include, front and rear lca bushings, shift linkage, sway links, steering rack, and tie rod boots. Im leaning towards the Hardrace kit as of now...


EJI MK: How many miles have you put on the Hardrace bushings?

- Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:21 pm #300593 Oh I really could not tell you, I did it last year around this time and parked the car back in October so maybe around 2000 miles easy possible more. I just got done checking them all in the last few weeks and they are just like they were when I pulled them out of the box, stiff as ever.

- Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:36 pm #300672 Hardrace bushings here, bought the complete kit. LCA bushings, UCA bushings, Toe arm, camber arm, RTA's, compliance bushings. Everything.

Definitely worth it. Never experienced ES or poly bushings, but considering how great the Hardrace pieces have been, I dont think I'll ever have to.

15k total I'd say. Saw 4 auto-x events and DD use. I recently pulled the suspension out to to replace a few other pieces and upon inspection they look as good as new.

- Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:59 am #301922 Are you friends with any of the local shops? to have the bushings replaced in the front LCA's and rear trailing arms I paid $20.

if thats not a good estimate, pick up the phone and call some local shops.
