In an attempt to reduce the sagging of my '90 200 avant I ordered new
bushings for the rear. Perhaps "control arm" is not the correct
terminology?
In any case I ordered the "kit" from Blau. It was $160. Upon receipt
I thought wow, those are some pricey round pieces of rubber LOL. 6
bushings in all, 4 small and two big.
Did I get hosed on the price? I have a feeling I should have called
TPC and woulda been quoted half the price.
Finally, I assume an alignment is required once these are replaced?
The car was just aligned (and drives MUCH better as a result) but it
seems if the bushings really have an effect on ride height it could play
havoc with rear camber or toe?
