Re: Re:Front Suspension bushings

["Steve Mick" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Gary for the link. After reading that, I am glad I didn't use the 
early polyurathane bushings.  I don't remember the brand of bushings I used 
. They are original style rubber. The parts store also does mechanic work, 
and I had them press in the new bushings.  I think Maybe  I will loosen 
things up and re-torque  with car weight on the suspension.

What brand bushings did you install? If that manufacturer has a tech help 
line, then you could give the manufacturer a call and see what they say. 
Generally the FSM is right.

But new polyurethane bushings in control arms do not need pre-weight.
See the Bushing Basics discussion on
