Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

is there any way to replace just the bushings in the suspension, rather than buying all new arms? I know you can get urethane bushings, but not hugely interested in those, and am surprised that you can’t get OE rubber ones. Am I just missing that corner of the internet?

POST 2Original post

Sounds like that corner of the internet doesn’t exist. Is there something unique about the bushings (like they are molded in place) that make them non-replaceable?

POST 3Original post

I think it's just the case that the majority of those owners DIYing suspension arms/bushes etc are looking for an "upgrade" if they are going to be investing the time and effort. If you were to be replacing with rubber, just buy new arms. You can get urethane in different durometers (hardness) so you could "just" mould your own in a softer durometer..

POST 4Original post

It’s not about upgrading, per se, but rather just replacing the only thing that would need replacing. Seems kind of wasteful to throw out all those perfectly good aluminum sticks just because no one wants to sell little tubes of rubber that are already being made in some factory somewhere… oh well, I have another 15-20k likely before I’ll need to worry about this…
