i'm getting a LTB.........
 
=hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a Stage 2 Lower Tie Bar for my max since I have the original suspension (good ground clearance). Then I just found out that a Lower control arm bushing would be needed. So guys with the Blemco Lower Tie Bar setup, do I really need lowercontrol arm bushing? Thanks guys.

they way I know, u just need to bolt on the ltb to the right place and u are fine.

No, but it would be easier to install your stage 2 if you had them.

On the other hand, it's not an easy job to change the actual bushings, so if you were not planning to change them you are probably better off installing the LTB with your stock bushings on.

BTW: make sure your stock bushings are not worn.

I would change it all at once.

cool, thanks for replies guys. Look like I will need air tools?

you don't NEED them, but if you don't have them, make sure to torque the bush link pin nuts down with the full weight of the car on the ground (tricky if you're lowered at all). If you torque them down with the car in the air, you will tear the rubber bushings.

If you have the ES bushings, you can torque it all down in the air (much easier) since teh bushings will rotate in the collar.

Air tools make things alot easier, yes.

cool, thanks Irish. Yeah, I read that from you b4. hehehe.

Anyway, can't wait to see how it looks though. Cause I haven't received mine yet.
