Suspension bushing kit - what have you used?
I'm in need of all new bushings in my front suspension (and probably at least one ball joint). I searched the forum but only found a couple of older posts that didn't prove as helpful as I'd hoped.
Does anyone here have a recommendation on a bushing kit? If not, can anyone tell me what bushings I'll need for the front? I can't drive my car because of this. Any help would be most appreciated!

Get a hold of Earthworm. He has Poly bushings in stock.
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/member.php?u=584 I just went with OEM for a ball joint replacement on the recommendation of a non dealer mechanic who I trust.

Re: Suspension bushing kit - what have used?
Many folks on the forum have used those with varied success as far as fitment and comfort goes. There's 2 levels of firmness available.
If you do a search you should find a lot of posts about them.

Re: Suspension bushing kit - what have used?
I probably wouldn't know the difference myself, but as long as they fit I'll be fine. I ordered the less expensive (by a few bucks) set, so they'll probably be a little softer, which will be fine by me.
I just need to get them to my mechanic so he can put 'em in. I've gotten to old and fat to pull wrenches anymore, except for simple things like alternators and such. As much as I'd like to save money, at this point I'd rather just pay a guy with a lift and air tools (and a hydraulic press). After this, I ***THINK*** my next major thing is paint and body work.
