I was just wondering if monoball bushings are a legal mod? quick yes or no is all I want.

thanks,
Josh Owens

 

If you are referencing the Asura spherical bearing control arms, no they are not legal.

Not allowed any more metal than stock in any bushing except for the damper upper mount.

 

Ok thanks Nick, Thats what I thought the rule was. Is their anyone that makes a full bushing set for the s2k? If so maybe a link please? My ap1 bushings that have 130k on them are very sad. Not this season but next season I'm wanting to do somthing about that. I didn't want to spend 2k on the asura bushings either. I'm looking for somthing around the X<$1000 range. I have a press and can push in poly bushings myself.

only $444 but they don't have the #4 bushing. Does anyone make that one? could you use the asura on side the stock one as metal in it?

these are legal right?

 

Mugen @ King Motorsports is your best bet.


or Powerflex

 

I mentioned this a while back but I have some delrin bushings being made for my car. The guy making them is looking at bringing them to the market. I will certainly make everyone aware if this becomes a reality.

 

Make sure you only put them in the single axis locations - which are probably only the inner front control arm and shock mounts. I don't think anything in the rear is single axis.

All the Delrin will do is cause binding if its in a dual-axis bushing. Leach has some great stories about Poly/Delrin - I've never seen someone get so animated over bushings

 

I made sure of this. There is a straight line through all the pivot points. This includes the front lower arm and the rear upper and lower arms. Should be able to replace everything with delrin with the exception of the rear lower arm bushing since that does need to pivot. I already bought the Mugen bushings for those. The only thing I am worried about would be having the front lower arm front bushing being delrin and the rear one being harder rubber and the effect that would have on the toe while cornering.

 

Good news - glad to hear it.

 

Wow, Colin, that's going to be sick if it works. Good luck and I'm glad I dont' have to ante up for those things!

 

I need to find out people that would be interested in having some delrin bushings made. This would be the full suspension set for the car excluding the front rear most lower control arm bushing. This would work out to be 32 pieces since the bushings would need to be cut in half to install them. I am unsure of rules as far as posting in the R&C forum yet so I thought I would start here. This will probably cost less than most think but I still need some interest before he commits. Please PM me if interested and I can give you an idea of cost as well.
