    Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.

    new bushing, the one from EBAY


    broken bushing


    side by side


    installed


    I also replaced the right side ball joint, the whole process took about 5 hours of working.

    So far the car feels ALOT better. still haven't driven it to much yet but i will report back once i do.

    Oh yeah i only replaced the rear bushing as thats the only one that was broken, the other one is solid and looks pretty good. So when you order all you need is 2 not four, 1 for each side.

    I had the bushings pressed in and out at Napa auto parts for 15 bucks a side.


    Got any question ask me here.

    Thanks for playing

    Great to hear that everything went well with your install. After many inquiries regarding the price, and weeks of negotiating with our manufacturer. I'm now able to offer these bushings at a price we feel is very reasonable. I do monitor this forum here and there and will be available to answer any questions you guys/gals may have.

    If you require a quicker response please feel free to email us at lpdauto@charter.net

    Here is a link to our ebay sale:

    wait so do you need 2 or 4 if you plan to replace them all, and can you have these and derlin bushings? or is it one or the other? i am not sure but i thought the derlin bushings made by speedy benz go on the sway bar? where do these go??? I think I just confused myself
