polyurethane Bushing kit

[Tippey764]

Ok i had a question about this kit

I was looking at " http://www.tasauto.com/Product/Detail.aspx?s=432013 ".

I need to know: How do you install the bushings into the places like the upper control arm ( front and rear ). Do they need to be pressed in or should i be able to do it myself? How hard is it to install one of these kits also? If its too hard then should i just go with

I need either one of these to pass maryland state inspection, as all of my rubber boots are dry rotted. ( by the way i do have accesse to a shop, but its at my brothers discression because he hates my car and hates to touch it )

The bushings can be a pain in the ass to do. You CAN do it yourself, but many people pay to have them pressed in.

That kit is actually REALLY cheap! I paid more than that for cheap ebay crap for the front end alone!

If you plan on lowering your car, I'd strongly suggest getting their adjustable conrol arms.

Check out www.energysuspension.com they make bushing kits. Prothane is another good company, not sure if they still make kits for cb's

Is it one of thoes " you get what you pay for " quality parts or would you reccomend it? I have acesse to a press if required. I dont really foresee lowing my car within the distant future but it might happen some day. How much would thoes run me ( all i could find were the $200 from TASauto ) An off topic question but, what are some other good websites for accord parts like TASauto?

the hard part is getting the old bushings out, especially if they haven't been replaced in a while

My gusse is these are the factory bushings.

You could always burn them out, lol.

yes a torch is a good tool for bushings

A hydraulic press is an even better one.

Ok besides getting the old bushings out, how good would you say that kit is?

The parts that TASauto sells are all quality. You can't go wrong with their parts, and they're usually very good about answering any questions regarding their products.

Their adjustable upper control arms are fantastic. I have them myself, and I would never use anything else for camber correction. I've had a cheap camber kit on me, and nearly lost my car at 70mph... and possibly my life. Those arms come with urethane bushings and an Ingalls adjustable upper ball joint. Top quality stuff, and well worth the price. I wouldn't trust anything similar for less, honestly.

ok well then I'm sold on the polyurthane bushings, Im the guy who likes to do things right the 1st time but I'll probaly get the adjustable control arm when/if I lower my car.

I believe it was mentioned already but Energy Suspension makes a kit too. Theyre name brand and rather inexpenssive. Look them up on ebay.
