use the old ring from the old bushing you pressed out. it should be the perfect size for it. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/935...ance-bushings/ enjoy!

 

when i installed the powerflex ones i just lubed the bushing and put each side individually then slide the metal collar in afterwards

 

ill be skipping the whole process and putting in a different set of arms. lol

 

There's lots of good advice above.

Best advice of thread:


Here's my bushing how-to: http://robrobinette....000Bushings.htm

 

Not worth the time huh? I figured with a old chassis this would be good to do

its on the second post. im just making one huge thread of my repairs and upgrades as i do autocross.

heres my current work progress. i just got started tonight. took me an hour to cut out the compliance bushing. i got a used set of arms with relatively low miles. i will be cleaning and polishing the bolts and eyelets of each component and anti seize. i wonder if i can use something to wrap the joints up with so i can keep debris from getting in. should i apply anything else? i may rub some vasoline on the assembly afterwards to keep the elements out. i figure id rather deal with some vasoline than have them get all weathered and dirty. lol

 

Even with my ridden hard 01 all the old bushings were good other than the compliance bushings.

 

The grease zerks allow you to pump in clean grease and push out the debris and prevent squeaking. Their install is worth the effort.

 

I've done this job, it's very much so a job.




Replaced every single bolt with a new one

 

I will say with the poly bushings everything moved much more freely. Not sure how that translated to the feel but when changing shocks and such there was zero binding or pushing/pulling like before

The car.
