Does anybody know if these smaller bushings can be bught separately?
Last year I bought the LPD poly bushings for my car, but haven't installed them yet!
I thought if I can buy the smaller ones 2 then Installing them 2gether would be perfect!

You guys whos got the BLACK or YELLO poly bushings from
LPD AUTOPARTS, you still positive of the bushings?
Any negative feedback?
squeking noise?
Plastic detoriation?
Anything!

I have the black ones!

Another question about installing?
Is it important to grease the bushing?
As seen in the picture above: the loose metal washers, did you re-use them from your old LCA bushing or did you buy new washers when installing poly bushings?
I guess I need a new wheel alignment after?

Am I going to notice any improvement after installment?

I have a set of small bushings if you are interested.

Also, you should grease the bushings when installing.

Are you using the LPD bushings on your car?
If yes, any positive or negative feedback would be appreciated

Anyone have any LPD or other Poly Lower Control Arm bushings they want to sell? I think my stockers are finally due to be replaced. Also, does anyone know if there is a cheaper solution to the upper control arm bushing replacement than buying new control arms from the stealership? The arms look fine, just the bushing thats rotted out. Thanks!

I bought the ADUS 597 from FCP Groton. I removed the broken bushings, and the replacements popped in. I modified the LCA to use a grease fitting, and drilled the bushings to get the grease to the center of the bushing. I also cut the cast in grease grooves to the end of the bushing, along with cutting grooves on the faces of the bushings, to allow the grease to get everywhere.

I used "Green Grease". It is synthetic, so it should not attack the bushing.

The upper arms are not too expensive. If the rubber is gone, figure the ball joint is near the end of life also.
