    i need to replace the rear bushings, and was wondering if there was anything people could recommend-do i have to go ferrari, and spend millions, or is there something that's just as good, for a cheap bastard like myself?

    thanks all!

    You can do it yourself- there are lots of threads on this here. It's getting cold anyway. You can/should put the car on jack stands and do all four corners (do the brakes too). It is not hard and pretty inexpensive if you do it yourself. Even if u disassemble it send it out to be re-bushed and re- assemble it- its not hard nor expensive. My guy Carroll has done some of mine...easy stuff (and fun)

    When I bought mine I got them from Jacques at The Maserati Source, price was half of what T Rutlands was charging and Jacques said that all on the market came from the batch that Castelhano had produced. Good quality items, good vendor been buying from him for over 10 years.

    be careful with the low quality bushings from Dinoparts...
    My GTS I had to redo them after one year, with the M-serie they lasted 3 years...
    I would always recommend to buy original quality from Ferrari (Maranello Classic Parts).
    Does anybody else have good recommendations (price/value) where to buy the bushings.

    Let's ask UroTrash.

    Hey Uro, how are the bushings holding up on your Dino????

    I had those put in 5 years ago, maybe 10K miles ago now.

    They were from Superformance I believe.
