part1 es bushing install...

So tonight after work I decided to tackle down all my front end ES bushings. This evening I removed all the sway bar bushings, disconnected the seteering tie rods from the steering knuckle, removed my calipers, caliper bracket, and rotors. Tomorrow I need to remove or move aside my half shafts, and remove the steering knuckle, and take out the lower control arm. Once that's done and installed back on, I have to install my es motor mounts. I should be able to finish this tomorrow afternoon. The next weekend I have to take out my beam, to install the bushings on those. Well i'd thought id share my progress..

Wait, I thought Energy Suspension only made rear trailing arm bushings for the 5th gen? Or did you just buy those since the 5th gen rear is so similar to ours?

I've got my front sway bar bushings installed, nothing else yet.

Awesome, post back here when you find out. If they do fit, I'll be happy but I'll also be p!ssed at ES for saying they were 2000-2003 only!

i'll post some info when im done..

I must say installing these es bushings has really tied up my front end. It doesn't feel sloppy like before. There's no lag when i turn into a corner. I'm loving it. I'm sure it will be better when i get my Tein ss coilovers with edfc!
