        This may be way out on a limb, but what would you charge to do an entire bushing set for the car?

          One off bushing sets are probably not worth me doing other than for my own car. It takes too much time figuring out what to use to get them to work.

          I do think I have every bushing in the front suspension replaced on mine with polyurethane except for the top strut mounts. I think the only other bushings not currently available in polyurethane is the rear axle pivot bushings.



          What bushings are you wanting in this set?



          Im open to suggestions on what to make next, but it does take some time to get the first prototype made. I either need to tear our car apart to do it, or have an extra of the part Im trying to improve/reproduce.

          Im still thinking about trying caster plates, but there is just soo much going on that I havent had a chance to design them yet....

          If anyone has drawings of something they'd like us to try making, we'd definitely consider them.

            Actually, I was looking for a full set for the front end. I planned on going to FMS for the high durometer rubber ones, but I would like to get something better than that. Call me picky?

              Everything is available in polyurethane.

              Here's a list:

              Control arm to sway bar bushings - moog for festiva
              Sway bar to body bushings - use aftermarket and make a backing plate.
              Control arm pivot - I make them

              I think that covers the front suspension.

                  And SuperPro makes all of those bushings as well (and no need to make the backing plate for the sway bar bushing). contact TEIN USA for them.
