Reply to "OEM vs Poly Bushes"

86gt5-sMember

I am also about to start a suspension overhaul as I just pulled my gearbox to send to Lloyd at RBT for service. My second and third gear syncros we’re starting to make a slight grinding sound after seven years of use.

My suspension squeaks a bit also and I figure now is a good time to overhaul it while waiting for the gearbox. Everything I have appears to be stock OEM with Koni 82-1702 and rubber A-arm bushings. My plan is to send the shocks to Koni for a rebuild, powder coat the A-arms, springs, sway bar etc gloss black. My goal is to retain the OEM look and ride, I plan on installing new rubber bushings rather than Poly. Should be complete in a couple of months (hopefully) as I already miss driving the car....
