Control Arm Bushings WTB Reply #2 – October 03, 2007, 12:31:35 PM If you want to use the car as a daily, you don't want poly bushings. I installed 'em in my 'Bird and it rides HARD how. Doesn't matter to me because I wanted to better the handling and don't mind the harsh ride in an occasionally driven (as in hasn't seen pavement in almost a year) car, but if comfort is your priority you'll want to go with stock rubber bushings...

The rest being stock rubber. Would that be a good idea in the long haul? Just poly on the CA's wouldnt effect ride that much being as everything else is rubber ,, would it>? Quote Selected
Control Arm Bushings WTB Reply #4 – October 03, 2007, 05:41:52 PM I can't say for sure as I installed poly everything (rack bushings, stabilizer links, spring isolators, CA bushings), but even still I think most of the harshness is coming from the CA bushings... Quote Selected

Control Arm Bushings WTB Reply #6 – October 03, 2007, 06:33:25 PM If you're talking about the front control arms, it is a resounding "YES!" that they will make the ride more harsh. You will feel every expansion joint in the road. Quote Selected

I wanted to send my cash to a fellow member,, keeping it in the family so to speak. I can check tomorrow though, i was just hoping someone had a set.Thanks everyone for the advice, stock CA bushings will be installed. Quote Selected
Control Arm Bushings WTB Reply #8 – October 04, 2007, 08:56:49 AM Have fun getting the old ones out. That was the hardest part for me. I like the feel of my Poly kit in my car but yes it more road road sensitive. That isn't a bad thing down here in the Hills and corners that I live in. Quote Selected
