DIY la

==============

 

Hahaha. Do u know the tools & skill needed to change all those bushings?

 

I rather let a good mech do a proper job for me & I pay him some $$$. Less headache later on.

if im not wrong, there is a agent in singapore that carry this brand. i remember seeing it in some magazine..

[Dynaway]

dun even think of DIY... .its not so simple like jus replacing the bush...

 

this kind of marnee i rather not save...

[Pisces69]

Yes I know. That's why I prefer to let a professional do it.

 

U can improvise a bush removal & installation tool with a long bolt, nut & washer & a vice clamp. Also the spanners & such to remove the arms but u must have all these on hand which I don't have.

 

On top of all this, the job can get very messy & your hands will b covered with thick & heavy grease, oil & dirt. U might also get cuts & scrapes when u r working with such heavy tools.

 

Pay some $$$ & get it done properly is what I say.

bro, if we dont changeout a worn bushing, what will happen to the car?

[Dynaway]

excessive vibration..... uneven tyre wear.... when u do hard braking, the vehicle may swing one side..... ur tuning most likely will be irradict

currently driving a toyota sienta,if under the below condition, how long can all of the car stock bushings last

 

- normal driving style

- seldom carry 7 pple, occasionally

- no heavy objects,even spare tire removed

- 3 years old car

- ever once spray white lit grease onto some rubber parts

 

I attach some useful pics for reference

 

Also thgt of changing to sport bushings........worth it?

Probably can last longer than you decide to keep your ride ;)

 

No point changing to PU unless your stock bushings are worn out (like after 15+ yrs) or you track often and need something durable and stiffer.

are the attached all the bushings we can find in our normal car (not those ultra sport type)? typically, how long can these bushings or rubbers last - more than 5 years.....any indications/symptoms/signs of them go out that we can notice?

 

is it worth to change those HP bushings/rubber for daily road use?

hi all

 

is there anything such as strut bar bushing?

 

i noticed there's freeplay between bolt & strut mounting hole; no matter how tight still will move within freeplay rite?

 

was thinkin if add PU / hard rubber bushing would improve handling.

[Fuelsaver]

Perhaps it is called sleeve? Any such stuffs readily avail or gotta customize?

I have installed poly bushes for my front suspension. I need some strong grease to knock out the squeak sounds.

 

Can anyone recommend a strong long lasting grease?

 

Thanks

Thanks Yeo, the video was a bush installation video?

 

I have already installed my poly bushes.

 

Its squeaky now. Need strong and long lasting grease to stop the squeaks.

 

Can u recommend some strong industrial grease?

Is there a grease nipple for you to in hand pump the grease into the space between the bush and the bushing bore. Almost all cars after 80"s the bushing don't have grease nipple. You mech should have grease the bushing lightly before installation , with high pressure grease.

[Wildfaye29]

That I'm not too sure, they did use the supplied grease when installing but it was washed out due to heavy rain.

 

I have a total of 4 bushes on my front control arms and 2 on my front anti roll bar.

 

They used WD40 to spray in subsquently and lasted about 1 month, again washed out due to heavy rain.

 

I need a long lasting solution. :)
