I destroyed the factory control blade bushes in my GT just from my FPV drive day...granted there may have been a bit of this involved:https://youtu.be/eUxXG9lBMvshaha that's awesome. This will do it too...it was just more of a heads up to those who have done a lot of K's in their cars to get them checked out as they'd most likely be rooted. FWIW, my car has done 80, 000km and they were gone.Don't forget to unplud the TC (under the back seat - I think) as the wiring goes through the bladeAh yes, forgot about that! You're right, the cables run under the back seat on each side. You unplug then push the rubber grommet through the hole and pull the cable out.

Would be cheaper than buying a set of Superpro ones and getting them fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe less clunks but hard to remember. I remember really liking the improvement though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR_NITRO_FG Donating Members 3,214 Member For: 11y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: NOR Perth Posted 12/03/15 10:45 PM Share Posted 12/03/15 10:45 PM Yeah I have a new occasional small clunk/noise when doing light take off in stop start traffic. Doesn't happen all the time...can sometimes hear a rattle too. This happened after installing rear swaybar + wholesale suspension rear pins (so not sure if coincidence or whether the knobs didn't tighten it properly?). Thought clunk may be bush related (noise sounds like coming from rear left) and rattle from rear right (thought maybe loose swaybar pins?). Guess I'll take it to suspension eggspurts when I get the time/money.Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details are in my build thread about that and Senna_T's for sale thread about them. I needed to file them down as they were thicker than the part of the car they sit in (rear arms or whatever), so tightening up still leaves them with rattle room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
