Thread: Massive inprovement in front end feel for 50$

Ordered my 2nd project, now for the regal


i would still like to find a poly replacement for the other bushing

$50 ? says $119.18

Yah. You see 2 new control arms ^ I'm not re using my old ones


also cheaper on eBay. After shipping rock auto wanted more than ebay

do not get that control arm bushing from that eBay seller. get it from summit.
i still haven't got rear trailing arms i ordered from that eBay seller (9th day) they went on tour of the south west with FedEx and now have been handed off to USPS for a tour of the mid west. lol

Wahht? No way. That's frickin lame. Thanks for the heads up

that hand off crap from one carrier to another pisses me off. seems like they all do it now.

I got my replacement and installed everything, seems much better(I also did new lca's and 34mm swaybar). The company sent me two replacement parts, if they don't want it back, someone here can have it.

I also installed new moog endlinks, anyone know about how much of the bolt should showing above the nut or what torque spec?

well I didn't place my order yet. PM me what you want for em
edit - unless it's damaged , then I'll pass

the end links I use billet ones and poly bushings. I tried to get thm just tight enough in the air and another turn once on the ground.

I contacted the company and they want me to return both bushings and they will give me a refund. I don't think they understand what happened... They sent me two bushings, one was broken, so they accidentally sent me two replacement bushings instead of one. Now they want me to send the broken one and the extra bushing back and they will give me a refund...

Going to lift the car back up today and check to make sure everything is still good/in place after I drove about 100 miles with the new setup in.

Update on the new parts;

The new ball bushings make the she steering much easier and smoother. The car wants to turn into the turn, you no longer have to fight it. Might be a very small touch of over steer.

I think the new sway bar is causing the inside tire to lift during hard cornering but overrall much less body roll. Would loosening the nut on the endlink bolts allow for more independent travel before the swayback transfers the energy over, IE stopping the inside wheel from lifting?

Anyone have a problem with these tearing their boots? My passenger side is torn already. I also have confirmed that you need to install the bushings lip side DOWN. I didn't and my driver side is pulling out. I didn't realize this when I was installing them, but I did after the project was complete. I decided to keep an eye on them and see if they pulled out and the driver side is starting too. Tomorrow I'll replace both of them, lip side down like they need to be.

For anyone looking for arms with the problem solver bushings pressed in from the manufacturer, the CK and K series include the problem solver bushing, the R series does not : http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/moog-ck80538

the CK/K description below the part image specifies that it includes problem solver bushings. It's probably just a photo of the R series arm that includes OEM replacement bushings.

Those bushings are not included in any moog control arm. They are an upgraded bushing sold separately

bottom of page, last sentence before comments and links. We will see. I have a set ordered from summit on the way.

It'd be nice if they were, maybe they finally got off their ass and realized it. We'll see. Let us know for sure. I seem to remember seeing another thread with them and they weren't.

I think mines were the ck series and didn't have the problem solving bushings.. But maybe they switched things up

Mine don't have them either.

I had both sets in my hands. One had grease fittings on the ball joints the other didn't. Bushings the same.
However I still cheaped out and bought knock-offs for $65 for the pair no tax no shipping. Since I'm going to hack em up anyways.

Still looking for the poly forward bushing insert. See post #39 on page 2. Something HAS to fit ......
