  • suspension bushings

    I need to replace all my suspension bushings what do you guys recommend as in brand? And where would you recommend buying them. Thanks for the help

    For which car? do you have any goals?

    If it is for your 1971, I highly suggest moog rubber components.

      No its for the 97 camaro. Should I run moog in that also. Just a street car but while I was lowering I notice all the bushings are in pretty bad shape

        If it's just a street car I'd use high quality rubber bushings. I just went through and did all mine with the NAPA premium series which are made in the USA and are very nice quality.

          anything new is going to be an improvement but Moog is know to make good stuff. I like the idea of James Made in USA parts too.

          If you do order from a site like advanced auto make sure to use a coupon code, you could save 100 I bet.

              Rock Auto carries MOOG parts. Couldn't find all MOOG parts, but only things I couldn't get for you in MOOG parts were the sway bar bushings. Figured ACDelco would be a good alternative, but the rears were only available in Raybestos Professional, so I had to settle. Still, under $300 shipped for just about all of it.

              If you order from Rock Auto, use discount code 96788357969687, just enter the numbers in the "How did you hear about us?" box in the shopping cart, that gets you 5% off.

                its what is it cost to buy great products and keep money local, however, I have bought and used rock auto more then a couple times and you cant go wrong. I even took my parts list to my local murrays to see if they can come close and they couldnt. The internet has put a lot of mom and pop stores out of business

                  Amazon will beat Rock Auto's pricing on Moog pieces and the free shipping doesn't hurt. What are you replacing that rings up a $500 tab? You should be able to get the complete front and rear suspension (not including front strut mounts) for ~$300.

                        Yeah I need strut mounts and tie rod ends to. I should of never bought this thing. I was gonna go all energy suspension parts but don't really know if that's the right thing to do. It's just a street car for cruising what kind of struts do you think I can get away with also

                          Struts Id go stock, but the only thing energy Id stay away from is the motor mounts. They will rattle your teeth out

                            So is energy suspension better than going moog? And will new stock struts work with lowering springs

                              I believe you can put lowering springs on new struts, Are you going for a budget build up ?
