Why do you fellas like SP better? Cause less NVH?

Also, was the second link just to show me what part you are talking about?

Or are you suggesting I will need to purchase brand new replacement arms; and then pay someone else to install the bushes into stock arms (using a press?), and then install the whole arms?

:/

Now I'm confused again lol....it would be cheaper/easier just to buy the bushes...then tell the suspension place to remove my front lower control arm and then put new bush in. That would be the normal process for replacing said bush yeah?

Ok...thanks LUKE!

If the Pedders kents still say "your bushes look fine"...I guess I will just replace that bush in hopes that that is the part causing premature wear of rotors! (parts usually $50-$100 and then 1-2 hours labour hopefully)....Then I will skim my RDA's and see whether the shudder returns!

P.S. Ralph....do you have an opinion on whether its safe to paint that yellow hat area on the pic in post# 7 ; using high temp engine enamel paint from a can? Or bad idea?

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

Last question I promise :)

Is this the SP equivalent:

Front Strut Bar To Chassis Mount-Adjustable Bushing
Alignment Correction SPF3223K

I should buy the one with "alignment correction" and not the "standard replacement" one yeah?

Peter, seems like we are both in the exact same boat buddy and I have the DBA T3 rotors.

I had a good 25min conversation with Matt yesterday and I was told that it could be anything that has caused the problem.

you can replace the rotors(mask the original problem for a while as mentioned) and it ill go away.

Or it could be the bushes for the control arm.

Could be the way the rotor was installed without removing dust from the hub.

Could be the way the nuts for the wheels were tightened.

It could even be the resins from the brake pads that have accumulated on the rotor. a few heavy braking from 80km/h could help remove this resin.

Endless possibilities and no one will fess up and replace items under warranty.

At this point, my plan of attach is to get the shockworks gear off .stripes and then get Malaga suspension to install them, but at the same time replace the bushes in the control arms.

Good luck and if you find the problem before me, let me know okay.

Yes and maybe

maybe? jesus ralph....so cryptic with your responses

I will eventually be installing: Bilstein F&R shocks, Kings SSL/SSSL springs, Whiteline F&R sway bars and probably rear link pins things from SennaT

So would lowered suspension need the castor correction and therefore I should choose alignment correction part?

I know I said no more questions.....but your maybe threw me off :P
