Well, never heard of this place before, i emailed them to see what the durometer ratings are. Cause for the price, eliminating the 4 holes rear LCA bushing would be nice, for under $30 no less.

Did you give them a shot? Been eyeing these myself

 

[TalonTsi90]

Nope and never heard back from them either.

Sounds like they don't want business. I was eyeing their LCA bushings as well. Thinking I need to do those (even though mine have less than 3 months on them) and front sway bar bushings/brackets.

Finished my Tanabe springs + Bilstein B6's last week and have had super bad popping/clunking since then from the front drivers side. Had someone else in the car while they let the car roll in drive without gas and it's coming from down low, so I'm thinking either LCA bushings, front sway bar, or end links. Even stopped, turning the wheel makes it clunk bad. End links are only a year old too...

Loosened up the strut mounts, end links, and bolt above the ball joint and re-torqued it down with no luck. Tons of silicone lube hasn't helped at all either so I'm thinking it's bushings.

Odd, my clunk was from the lower strut bolts lol.

Okay this is getting out of hand. I stop by my local shop that's helped with some work, they check it out, and it's the lower strut bolts. I swear you either follow me around or something.


They also mentioned a bushing on the LCA is getting beat up but isn't at replacement point yet. Which sucks cause the LCAs were put in at the beginning of January this year..probably won't go with the Mevotech Supremes again should I replace the entire LCA down the road. Was hoping they would be an improvement over OEM

They were more than finger tight, so i didnt bother to look too hard at them, till i decided to touch everything with a wrench. Same thing happened to my left rear shock, it was just a smidge under torqued and only moved when the suspension moved, but i could bounce the car by standing in the door and still couldnt figure it out, till i touched it with a wrench.

I even tried the whole bouncing the car up and down at that corner and couldn't replicate the issue. Crazy how much noise that can make. Thankfully all is good now! Besides the torn boot on the sway bar link on that side. Replacement coming this week.

Yea the front only made noise like when turning and only sometimes IIRC. The rear was more direct.

Hi ... Nolathane and Whiteline use the exactly same manufactured bushings. Do yourself a favour and install the Australian made SuperPro bushes. I use them on all my road cars and track day RS5.

Garbage website, doesnt even show where the pieces will fit and only a pic for an "install" guide.
