[SleeperSolara]

Well Sunday i went to my friends't house to install my SuperPro poly bushin's on my car.




Bushin's brand new in their baggies.
They sat in their baggies for almost a year.

So January 18, 2009 come around
Went to my friends' house to install them on my car.
Wit 4 people we get this:




Well i've been workin' on my class re-design project for 6 months.
It's a turbo, my friend had a blown one, so i tore that apart, and measured every part. [Pain in the arse]
Here are some pictures.

On the computer wit some parts hidden.

Test print of the compressor housin', the rake angle it steeper.

Let me know what you guys think about all this.

how's the handling feel with the lower control arm bushings?

and how hard were they to install?

^^I know mine were a b!tch!! (Mostly because of rust tho) Didn't have the tools handy so had a shop do it.

How'd you press out the old bushings without taking em to a shop?

It's pretty good.
I get better feedback than the old OEM rubber bushin's.
Wasn't too hard, just had a problem takin' out the bushin' wit the pivot pin, and the rear wasn't too hard to take out, but puttin' on the SuperPro was a pain in the arse, you have to semi-pop the bottom end in and then use a vise to push them together, and then use a flat head to press the top lip in and then move the vise in and then just wedge the flat head aroud the top lip area and the it will pop in when you have the lip inside.

Yeah my rear one was all rusted and all.

The bushin' wit the pivot pin, we used a hammer to take it out, then sawed the rubber part off and then sanded the rest to get the little lines of the rubber, for the rear, my friend got a screw driver and placed it in the metal sleeve, and popped it out, and then sawed the outer sleeve, and got a flat head, and used a hammer to pry it out.

^^props to getting it done yourself....maybe it's because i'm a little tipsy, but wouldn't want to deal with that and glad I had a shop do it! Good job tho! I definitely noticed a difference in handling when I had mine all done and I'm sure you did too!
