rear trailing arm bushings opinion

[monty23psk]

Hey everyone,

My rear trailing arm bushings are shot. I see the arm move front to back on take off. I already did the subframe bushings and like an idiot never did the arms. I need to do the cv joint boots as 2 have tears so would like to do it now. I have a couple options. I only do street as this is my DD. But after this, my car is ready for some track events. Noise is not to much of an issue, have great sound system and since the car is lowered, I feel and hear much more noise. I will eventually upgrade my springs to GC and will upgrade sway bars. So right now, adjusting the arms in no concern. I will get the IE set when this time comes.

Should I go with stock or a urethane set. Bavauto offers a set that are made a little softer so its less noisy. If I go full urethane, then its either Turner or IE.

Any opinions would be great. Right not I am between stock or IE's.

Definitely, definitely, definitely, go for polyurethane bushings my friend. Powerflex purple ones are the hardest they do, but they do softer yellow ones as well if youre a little apprehensive about running hard bushings on a DD.

thanks. I went to their site and looks good. Would powerflex be better than the IE ones? They are more expensive.

I will go with urethane ones instead of stock.

I am not sure of their status there in the States, but here in the UK and europe there is no other better choice for poly bushes. They are THE poly bush maker. I have them on my own car, and they are perfect eBay do some complete kits too, i.e. all you need to poly bush the front/rear of your car etc.

i picked up the AKG Motorsport rear t/a bushings for $180. They are the eccentric set so that the rear is abjustable.
