Since this has no useful tech and has been covered previously I thought I'd post my rant in here.
This applies to the '93+ F-body. I just took the front lca's off my car. I replaced the bushings in them with Energy Suspension bushings in the summer. Well after just a few autocross events the caster bushings on BOTH sides are ripped in half and one side had almost spit the bushing completely out. (The caster bushing are the rear bushing on the front LCA's). I was mainly doing this to replace them as preventive maintenance. I had read where others had experienced a caster bushing failure and didn't want to take a risk of it happening mid summer. I have a set of prothane poly bushings here. The caster bushing on these is completely different and looks much stouter-however I don't know what it will do. Others have used the Moog replacement caster bushing sucessfully-use that if you're looking for a replacement. Also from what I can tell the bushings have been shot for a while which might explain some ( not all) of my car's nasty behavior over bumps and dead feeling in slaloms.

QUOTE (Cannibal @ Jan 27 2005, 04:56 PM) Where do we get MOOG replacement bushings, any of them not just a certain location. I just bought a full set of rear and lower front Moogs from Sam, so I know he carries them. The Moog rears ARE the 1LE bushings (compared molded part numbers to a real 1LE). I think the front camber bushings are solid and may or may not be 1LE. I know the Moog caster bushings are NOT 1LE, but they are beefier than stock. |
