Do I really need new bushings if I'm getting new suspension stuff?

[RustyShackleford]

I was gonna get the Energy Hyperflex Master Bushing Kit for 145 from Phase2 but if I'm getting new: Coilovers, sway bars, strut bars, toe links, RUCAs, inner and outer tie rods and tension rods how many bushings would I be replacing? The front and rear sway bars come with new end links and mounts. I really have no idea where all the bushings go and I'm a bit confused I read the 240sx tech page on installation but it only listed 4 parts. Thanks in advance.

The remaining bushing to be replaced (using your bushing kit) will be:

Front -Front lower control arm bushingSteering rack bushings

Rear-Rear upright bushings for traction rodRear upright bushings for rear upper control armRear upright bushings for toe rods

You'll also might find use in the subframe inserts that accompany the bushing kit.

Hope that helps

If this all look confusing to you then print them out and put your car on jacks, it will help you understand. In the PDFs are pictures to where the bushings go.

I would first order your parts then install them. See if there are any of your old bushings that havent been replaced by the aftermarket parts. Then just order the bushings that havent been replaced yet.

Now send me a PBA card for the time I spent researching these damn PDFs
