Did you do Front lower control arm rear bushes and upper control arm bushes, along with ball joints?

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 23/06/11 06:03 AM Share Posted 23/06/11 06:03 AM Font upper & lower control arm plus radial. Rear lower control arm only. Also installed the Teins in that time. And a larger rear bar. Which came out a week later.It made no difference at low speeds but it became very nervous at with it at high speeds. I thought it might induce some low speed over steer. It didn't. It had the opposite affect and created high speed over steer. Turn 1 & 2 @ QR it was all over the place. I took it out and it became a much more predictable car at speed. I also went up from a 33 mm ride height to a 35 cm which helped a lot I think. The 275's on the rear were just pushing the front all day. It needed a higher roll center.

I plan on doing upper and lower front bushes and pretty much all of the rear (may as well, want to do diff bushes). What cost would I be looking at for install? Not a good month this month.. dyno, tyres, fluids, wheel alignment - now might as well do the bushes all in one hit.
