bushings in struts

[93mustang2.3t]

i got the bushings in the struts that 1wildcoupe sent me the old ones were complete udder junk.


first pic is the old vs. the new old metal bushing was rusted on both and the bushings were hollowed out and wiggle with it in dont have that now.

the other two pix are of the polyurathane bushings in the car.:thumbsup1:

[Notch93]

Good to see you got them in there.:thumbsup1: So does it ride better with them?

[93mustang2.3t]

it feels a bit smother and a little sharper in the corners did you see the rust? im going to bring them tomorrow to show you what they look like in person.

[Notch93]

Yes I saw the rust, just typical for a 17 year old part.

[93mustang2.3t]

well i didnt expect it on a stainless steel part.

[1wildcoupe]

glad to see that you got them in there. those old ones look a bit rough!! good work:thumbsup1:

[93mustang2.3t]

just needed an impact gun to break them loose.

Stainless steel is rust resistant.....not rust proof. 17 years outside in the rain, snow, humidity and such and it will rust.

Looks good.....just might want to make sure the alignment is still in specs.......:thumbsup1:

They aren't too bad..............when you have a Hunter alignment machine and a front end tech handy :yes1::lol1::lol1:

But really they are not that bad. I can think of much worse vehicles to try to align..............:yes1:

[93mustang2.3t]

dude.....do you have the alignment specs handy, don't tell me you are aligning it yourself :nonono1:.....you really need to have a shop do the alignment. Trust me. Come down to Spartanburg if you need to and we'll set your car up just right :thumbsup1:

[93mustang2.3t]

auto building at school has a hunter one i use that one since its a $40,000 machine i get to use for free!!!!!!!!!!:deal:

[Notch93]

Has your car been lowered? If not, then all it would need is to be set back to factory specs. You should only have to drill, if it has been lowered.

[93mustang2.3t]

lowered an inch and a half and i realighned it.

I work at a dealership.....we have the same machine AND I have someone else do the alignment.............same price and I don't get my hands dirty!!!!! :yes1:

But seriously thats cool.............keep up the good work! :thumbsup1:

[93mustang2.3t]

[Wayne's 88 GT]

Nothing wrong with that :thumbsup1:

But as much as I love to work on my car.........I know my limitations. There is a reason I am a Service Advisor and not a Master Technician..........I have no patience to work on cars!!!!! :nonono1:

[93mustang2.3t]

maybe you can put in a good word for me? :lol2:

well in a year im not going to be able to do my own alignment unless im in a dealership or at a tire place.

Hey man, how about a few periods and commas. It would make it a little easier to understand what your saying, when you separate thoughts.

[93mustang2.3t]

Wow I did't know we were in English class even though I got out of school six hours ago.





























































Is that good enough?

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can forever be happy—will you let me be yours?
