Negative, what is this? posted by Brandon on September 28, 2003 at 15:05:17: They've been said to wear out over time, but I don't see it causing that much of an alignment problem. Kaleb's opinion is otherwise and I'm not going to disagree, but I haven't seen the need to replace them on my car. They still hold the strut in place very well, and that's what matters. the other thing to check are the parallel link bushings. (all the little guys on the bottom.) They'll probably make more of a difference than anything else, since they'll have the most wear. Kaleb's been working with energy suspension to get replacements for them. they'll be out shortly. .. OEM bushings will likely be about the same price, and wil bring it back to factory new condition. OR... you can go all out and replace them with all metal Heim joints like I am. price is substantially higher, (probably $200-250, not sure on price yet) but you will have the ability to adjust camber and caster on the rear. Replys: Hmm.. ill have to look into that.. thanks for the info! Brandon (90 gxe) 20:42:34 9/28/2003 (1) Yup.. know how ya feel. nm Matt (93SE) 21:15:33 9/28/2003 (0)
