Im redoing the front end suspension, new balljoints and stabliizer links and struts. And saw that 4x4parts offers a bushing kit for the front LCA front and rear bushings. Has anyone tried it??

Im also looking to order bushing for the upper rear trailling arms, but dont see a specific kit, are they the same size as the lowers??

They also used to have a stainless brake line kit on there, do they not sell stainless lines for 99+ anymore??

:inout: :inout: :inout: :bs: :bs: :inoutgay:

Thanks for any help, should be a good summer for mods!!

I can get stainless steel lines if you cant find them there.

I would be really interested in the urethane bushings in the rear trailing arms, if you find out let me know. I could also possibly have bushings custom made but not sure how cost effective it would be.

Seems like you hit perfect timing on asking this. I just had my car apart for 2 days, just finished putting everything back together tonight. I installed poly front lca bushings from 4x4 parts, new kyb strut boots, cv boots ( one had a small tear you should also consider doing this when you have it all apart if you havent ), Moog front swaybar bushings, moog front swaybar links, moog rear swaybar bushings, didnt change rear swaybar links, seemed fine for now if they do go bad its like a 40min job.

I will be posting a thread tommorow on this but as of my first 30min drive when i put it all back together, get the poly bushings, but also replace all the other stuff. The handling is even better then it was.

carnal_c30: Lotsa folks, including me, have done poly bushings in the real trailing links. It's generally considered a good idea.
4x4parts.com has a kit.
