Prothane bushings, who has them

88workcar · 09-01-2002, 09:48 AM

I ordered a seat cover for my other alum seat, while I had Jegs on the phone I broke down and ordered coil spring isolators and the set of bushings for the rear control arms. Will this stop the wiggle in my rear, and will it improve 60ft? The K member and A arms are next. Thanks

are you using stock or aftermarket control arms the factory control arms are notoriously weak and have some very crappie rubber bushings but even the stock control arms will benefit from aftermarket bushings they will help out alot. when the rubber bushings get old they start to flex alot and tear then your rearend will sit cockeyed and move around alot.

Yes I do have stock arms, all round bushing though. Welded. I heard somewhere that this project will help 60ft times.

Well they are here. Now all I have to do is get them in the car. The Kirkly seat cover that came in is FINE also.

Can someone please explain what the job will entail. I am mechanically inclined, so with direction, I could do the work myself. I suppose I could go home and look under my car to see what the job will entail, but I'm lazy. BigBlock, check your Pm. Thanks, Keith
