    Mike, do you happen to have the ES part numbers for the A-arm bushings? I'm in the process of updating my sway bar bushings this weekend, I'll tackle the A-arms next.

    Appreciate your help!

    First find out what diameter bar you have. Easy way is to start slipping open end wrenches around the bars untill you find out what size it is, then convert to inches, then spec the bushing kit.

    I still believe in lubricating bushings, but, the rear bar bushings that have a Zerk at the bottom are going to loose that Zerk in a big hurry because it will get cleaned off by the first speed bump or whatever you drive over. The concept is great, I would recommend installing a plug in the bottom and relocating the Zerk fitting to the rear side of the strap mount.

    When I got the car, I couldn't believe how hammered the rear bar strap mount was, thought the PO was high jumping it or some mechanic had crushed it with a floor jack - but the road rash on the bottom was the real clue, Low cars loose a lot of metal and undercoating - but the low center of gravity is worth it :)

    go for it dude,
    chris

    For all 308's, all 16 are 13.3101G ("G" is for the black graphite impregnated, otherwise you get bright red)

    Chrismorse...I have all of the ES bushings for the sway bars...I got my end links back today with new bushings! Yehhh!

    I'm tackling the A-arms next and thought I'd go with ES as well.

    Thank you Mike for your help! Off to dial Summit Racing now...
