Energy suspension lower control arm bushing install 8.3128R

These are great instructions, I will be attempting a much need front lower control arm bushing fix this summer, just wondering if these would make my life any easier and if they would even be worth getting? Seems like they have weird years for the parts, mixing of the generations. Thinking of getting the bushings for the rack n pinion as well. Thx!

What did you end up going with that had the metal bits included? I need to do my LCA bushings as the metal bits are all seized.


Also, THREAD NECROMANCY!

Thanks for taking the time to document everything with pictures!

Just a heads up for anyone doing this with MOOG bushings currently installed:
The smaller bushings inner metal sleeves are too large in diameter to fit through the ES polyurethane bushing. I had to turn them down on my lathe to make them fit properly (1.181" OD). Also the washers don't need to be ground off to be removed. Just use a punch or cold chisel and tap around the edge to wiggle it loose.

 

Yeah I just got mine in today and realized they want you to reuse all that old crap, problem is I already had my bushings pressed out....

 

It's 2023 and this thread is still super useful! Just saying.
