Energy Suspension Master Bushing Kit

[svgnewbie]

I need some feedback on this kit from anyone that use it, and where to grab it if it's worth it?

[Tippey764]

I bought a prothane polyurethane kit from tasauto. I used a press to install them which is really the best way to do it

others used sockets and hammers to bang them out

anyways its very involved as there are 18 major bushings on the car as well as swapping out sway bar bushings and end links and the radius rod bushings

if your car has high mileage or doesn't feel very tight then i would reccomend it.

I installed the ES bushings on my 90. Takes a while, but I'm now got a brand new suspension (with the addition of new springs & struts).

Well worth it at only $110 or so and your own labor.

What, at the plethora of parts they have for us? yeah... nice selection for sure!

ES parts are very good... and the 20 year old rubber parts on our cars now are most definitely not doing what they were designed to do anymore. You will definitely like what that kit does for you. It can just be a pain in the balls to install.

My advice, freeze the parts and the bushings before trying to uninstall the old and install the new. It will cause the rubber/urethane to shrink, making them MUCH easier to fit.

IT'S THE MOTHERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!

Does it come with instructions? I think I'd get that and end up with a pile of parts I won't recognize.

Of course it has instructions. I have the ES front and the Prothane rear. It is really nice. Squeaks after a while but well worth it. After replacing mine the everything was way out of wack, WAY OUT!! Damn rubber and age!!

Just don't buy a set from a shady seller on ebay... I've actually seen kits being sold with no instructions.

Squeaks?

if you don't grease them properly they squeak after some time

mine dosen't squeak and its been in for over a year

[GeoffM]

So if you properly apply the included grease you'll be set?

[9DUBWISE]

I used all of the grease sold to me equally in the kit. 2 or 3 little tube packets. Its been 3 yrs on the rear and 4 or 5 on the front.

[Tippey764]

You should be but im not 100% sure

i actually haven't driven the car with the polyurethane bushing kit more then maybe a hundred feet down the road then made a U turn because the engine is about to die

I read somewhere that the difference between the red and black parts are how soon they'll squeak... I forget the details, and I never confirmed it to be true, but that thought just popped into my head.
