Brand new set of SpeedSource delrin/stainless solid bushings for the RX8 front upper control arms. Greatly reduces camber and steering deflection and also greatly reduces suspension movement friction forces. A must have for serious track enthusiasts and racers as per posts by Eric Meyer. Requires removing the OE bushing inserts first, which you may need a shop to do for you depending on your skill level and available equipment. Exceptional SpeedSource quality through and through.

$235 shipped in the US48, includes all four bushings to complete both sides and the SpeedSource installation paperwork.

 

Damn....something of yours I don't need

Bump for a good guy....and great parts

 

Only because you already have them

 

I also have a set of new, unused SpeedSource solid aluminum rear subframe bushings for the serious racer. I purchased and used them for dimensions only to custom fabricate a set of polymer UHMW subframe bushings per our class rules. Requires removing the rear subframe and OE bushings to install them which is a pretty hardcore job.

How much do you want for the rear subframe bushings?

I had them on my 300zx and it changed my world!

 

they are $350 plus shipping new (which these are 100% new and unused), how does $300 shipped sound

 

Oh thats much more than I was planning on... It's a fair price for sure I just don't have that kind of money at the moment.

Let me finish collecting my turbo parts all I need now is a boost controller and waste gate actuator. I should be able to get these off you in December if you still have them.

 

hmm... tempting...

 

Which one? There are two items FS here now.

 

Bump for great parts and great seller

 

SpeedSource front upper contol arm bushing kit, comes with free installation right? lol

 

LOL...

Do the install yourself... It'll put hair on your nuts.

 

Which is harder removing the old bushing or installing the new one . Especially with a seized bolt .

Great price for a great product! Good luck with your sale.

 

Haha was actually trying to give Team some crap since he lives close to me for the time being. I have yet had a chance to pick his brain on the rx8 in person lol.

 

its the sleeve man... its all about the sleeve.

 

The new bushings slide right in with some persuasion from a rubber mallet. It takes a press or air hammer setup to get the OE bushing sleeves out. The subframe bushings are a major air hammer effort.

 

I did mine with an air chisel...took about 5 min a side. Then I cleaned up the arms and pressed the bushings in ( backwards the first time )

 

Yeah, I meant air chisel rather than air hammer

 

Sadly I have no air anything...

For the upper control arms I devised another plan.

 

Should work.......

Much less fun and destructive though

 

Less fun... You have no idea, I got the lower control arm sleeves out with a hammer and metal chisel. that took a total of 15 hours.

 

yeah, that probably bent them

 

Yeap, live and ya learn.

 

Hey i need the driver side upper control arm and a rack and pinion. If you have these still pm me please

 

I ignored your PM because I am not selling those parts. This FS ad is for racing bushings.

Newbs should read more and post less ....
