Bushings and shock upgrades for 74 Dart Sport?

1mopar4life said

Thanks for the insight. Did your Energy kit come with all the bushings? I trying to make sure I have every single thing ready to go in when I tear it down. I went by Autozone and they were trying to sell me some Edelbrock shocks for it. Are they worth buying? I'll probably go with KYB shocks if I can get them cheaper.

es the kit came with all the bushings except sway bar , those are an extra 6.00 or so . Kit even came with rear spring bushings
seems price went up , I paid about 120.00 . But I think it was worth it , car rides better and I think poly bushings will last longer than rubber bushings

Includes:

• Front Upper Control Arm Bushings
• Front Lower Control Arm Bushings
• Front Strut Rod Bushings
• Front End Links Set
• Lower Control Arm Bump Stops
• Rear Leaf Spring Bushings
• Tie Rod End Boot
  they also have this kit at almost double the price , no idea if it is better , would like to know if the kit has better bushings

Seems prothane are lifetime warranty , energy 2 years , wonder why . But that explains the price difference I guess ?

asked energy the question , is there a difference between the 2 bushings , energy black bushings have graphite impregnated in them , Prothane do not , and energy 2 year warranty , Prothane lifetime warranty . They answered my question in 20 minutes , that was nice of them .
