Parts Sourcing for Front Suspension Rebuild

When I get a chance I will cut two different brands down the middle. That would be the only way you will all see what the difference is. If your driving on smooth roads and only bringing your cars out for shows or cruises. go with what ever you want . But daily drivers should use quality parts. made with quality metal.

If I was selling new parts for profit. I would never tell you the negatives on them. I would go out of business . Do I blame the sellers ? No I do not that is their livelihood.

When my son and I had our ATV shop we would push our products from suppliers. Would we use them on are race quads? No not a chance we knew what was a failing part. We didn't even use poly bushings that we sold. Greasable Heim ends were more expensive but they would last a lot longer.

That could be why they only use greasable heim ends on sprint cars. They were the only product used on our chassis's. You all can use what ever you want. Just take your safety seriously. It is you and only you that will suffer the consequences.

And believe me the poly lower arm bushings do not hold the arm in place securely. As easy as you slip it in .It will slip out. I had upper poly bushing they were fine. Not the lowers or the struts. Waste of your money. Every car that comes here with them on. I pull the front of the strut rod bushing off for the customer it is easy with a short air gun. While they are standing here. Once they see that bushing is gone where it fits through the K-member.and how you can pry the lower arm off of the control arm pin. I get a job replacing the bushings. worked out great for me. that is how I made money replacing junk parts.

The most important thing on installation on OEM style bushing is to tighten all bushing bolts and nuts while at ride height. This prevents bushing failure from over twisting it in one direction. If you tighten them while on the lift or jack and the arm hanging down. When the arm goes to the bump stop it tears. They need to be tightened neutral where the arm can travel in both directions the same distance. Preventing it from tearing .
