4th Gen F-car Front Upper A-arm Bushings

[joecar]

Anyone who replaced these bushings, what did you replace them with...?

[mr.prick]

Strano has these
Camber correction/Offset Upper Control arm kit (http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php?PartID=263&CategoryID=96&ModelID=7)
They are a limited run tho.

[joecar]

Nah... I don't want those, they're too expensive/limited... I'm looking for off-the-shelf... thanks tho for pointing those out.

The stock bushings are "slotted" rubber...

the only other ones I know of are the Moog ones, and I'm wondering if they're solid rubber.

[mr.prick]

Probably the only other choice for what you want.
Or you can go to a dealership. :rippedhand:

If you go to a stealership ask if you can get them for free
seeing how you gave GM your tax dollars. :hihi:

The Moog ones are slotted also... look carefully:

You can always replace the upper with a aftermarket poly bushing.

[joecar]

I wanted to avoid poly...

the upper looks like it sees only pivoting-motion and no twisting-motion (like the rear lca's), so poly may be a good idea.

Thanks.

That would be theonly position I would advocate the use of poly. I use delalum bushes and the UCA from Global west since 1999. Pricey though.
