Deaddog Saloon

I just filled the voids in the stock bushings with polyurethane.

Today I am complete. Had fun showing my wife my tune, data logged it, and did the grease monkey in training thing. Now I'm practicing my friends wedding updo for her.

AH, my hopes were raised and then dashed....

I hope that eventually someone produces bushings for us. They did wonders for my Cavaliers.

What bushing are our guys referring to ?

What bushing are our guys referring to ?

The rear bushing on the lower control arm. Located near the rear of the subframe

I doubt the vendors will offer poly LCA bushings anytime soon. The average modder prolly won't be willing to spend the money or the effort.

I will say that these are the easiest LCAs to remove ever. No ball joint separator necessary. 3bolts and it's out.

The bushings are pressed in. And would have to swapped by a machine shop or suspension shop.

Maybe we can get a request thread going though.

There really isnt all that much to the poly bushings (front and rear of lower control arm). Picture taken from TTR website (Cavalier control arm bushings).

I've done them before, and I agree that they're not big of a deal. But I think it might be a while.

The aftermarket usually hops on the more marketable stuff first.

 

[mitdr774]

Agreed. So far it seems as though this platform is getting more support than the old J body got for the first many years of production.

This might be TMI, but whatever, it's the saloon.

So during the two weeks without the Preloader, I've been a little short tempered and my sex drive has been non-existant. Now that everything is back to normal, I think my wife is in for some genital terrorism tonight.

Someone should start a lower control arm bushing thread...

 

[Preloader]

I'll do it. Soon. I'm exhausted from a long day, but I'll put something together with pics, a link to the poly on McMaster Carr's site, and a performance review.

Expect a thread tomorrow.opcorn:

 

[mitdr774]

Will you have time for that after your genital destruction??

 

[Preloader]

It's doubtful.

It's hard to type when I'm feeling like this.

 

[mitdr774]

NSFW...




Somehow hillarious for some reason.

Right on. I put a longer blurb about bushings in your build. I can expand on it in your new thread.

Well, sent home again. Work lost power yesterday just before start of shift and we were sent home after 3 hours. Power still out and they called the job before start of sift today. Might not have power until sunday. ****, if I had known I was going to have a week off with no pay I would have just taken a vacation.
