If I go with SPL (which I'm not sure yet if I will or not)...you do realize that would cost me a fortune, right? There are so many bushings that could potentially be replaced.

Sell all your left over squash on ebay and tell all the members you never got them from the vendor and pick up a complete bushing setup for LCA, Compression rod, Endlinks and Diff bushings. Pay chris in Squash and you will get away with a complete setup for merely pennies.


On the reals, I tried out Trix's squash that "PRINCEDRAMA" gave him and I LOVE IT. I might need to pick up a couple if you have any extra's after selling them all off.

Change your LCAs and compression rod bushings up front. Whiteline for LCA and go for spl on the compression rod

^ What Roy, you don't want people knowing your real name???

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll still probably have Chris or Rob or someone look at the other bushings just to see, but I know some of them are at the end of their useful life. I was hoping to get some sways before doing this as well, but I need to see how much it is gonna cost for the bushings first.

Anyone looking to sell some sways??

if you go low also change your endlinks brit. The past week i've gotten whiteline front and rear endlinks put on, motordyne front and rear sways, and the compression rod bushing changed. I can tell you it made a hell of a difference. The endlinks and bushings got rid of the weird popping and clunking noise I had, also made my car ride a lot better. The sways, well that was for pure enjoyment. Lol sways make a big difference as far as handling.

If you don't want to fork over $160 for the spl compression rod bushings. .like me. Look into the energy suspension ones, theres a guy selling left over ones brand new for $60 shipped. They're honestly not that bad, good for daily driving.

When you lower your car you put crazy angles on the endlinks which cause them to go out. Your not very low so they may not be too bad..

All this what i've learned from stephen and chris over the past week.

06 endlinks or bushings?

i rather get upgraded ones while i'm at it. Why pay to put just an oem bushing in for $20 more i can get a thicker, heftier bushing.

06 endlink would of probably worn out pretty quick cause of my ride height so that really wouldn't make much sense either roy.

I wasn't looking just to get rid of the noise, i also wanted to achieve better handling and ride quality.
