Hey guys, I've got some free time, and am gonna finally get around to
replacing the entire suspension on the 5-speed(thanks to the "box of
Nick" I've had sitting around for awhile. I was missing a few
suspension bushings, and found a source for Urethane bushings.....I
asked about a group buy, with the stipulation that I'm the guinea pig
and will make sure everything fits first....This is the only site I
found that specifically offered parts for a V8(they have an american
office which doesn't stock the parts for the V8). Someone in the UK
is gonna mic the "25mm" sway bar bushings tomorrow to verify that
they are actually 26(and they also offer a 28). Anyone know another
source(for pentosin/oil resistant Urethane bushings), chime in/let me
know. If anyone's had experience with these guys, also let's hear
it. Putting Urethane bushings on the Saab years ago, was like owning
a new car......and while I'm in there, would love to replace the
rubber with Urethane. The basically new sway bar bushings on the
Lago car got soaked not once/twice, but 3 times with hydraulic fluid
dealing with the pump rebuild(forgot to tighten one cap), and the
rebuilt hoses(Spokane HOH left the union loose, but failed to mention
that to me, and I just put it in.....They've already swelled up, and
that sucks.
Unless someone gives me a better option, I'm gonna be the guinea pig
and put these in and am willing to deal with a group buy if anyone's
interested...Sincerely, Tom
