BLKMGK Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Okay, I've pulled my front crossmember and control arms. The funky spacers I was seeing on the control arms turned out to be offset bushings! I've decided NOt to make the JTR mods to the front crossmember for now but note that these bushings move the pivot center. Does this have the same effect? Were these meant for bumpsteer or for alignment? Most importanly, should I keep them or yank them in favor of the ones I've gotten from Energy? They look to be in good shape to me - solid aluminum wrapped in urethane... TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 IMO toss em.. they will wear unevenly eventually and cause headaches. put the energy ones in- and if you really need to adjust camber to save your $ tires use mikes or my heim arms instead of the bushings or better yet go for camberplates.

BLKMGK Posted March 3, 2001 Author Share Posted March 3, 2001 Oh allright (pout). That'll be fun to take out and I didn't drop the arms off at the powdershop 'cause I figured that keeping them would be the consensus Maybe I can get them out in one piece and find someone who wants them? I can dream right? As it is, some of my stuff is headed for E-Bay (sigh). Thanks! I'll work on yanking them this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 If yours is a track car and you need the camber from them, you might inspect them for wear and if they're OK use them. Not recommended for a street car, and not needed. For my street/track car, I lengthened my control arms for more camber and used the polyurethane bushings.
