Polyurethane control arm bushings...which one??

[andyofcolumbusmerkur]

Ed when I type that into google it is the 5th link. Also if you search poly bushings on this forum people say the Sierra bushings are the same as the XR. While others say bushings for sway bar clamps and lower control arm are different.

What the heck. It shows up with your link but not when I search it on my own lol.

There are differences between Cosworth and RWD cars with the inner control arm bushings, sway bar through bushing and sway bar bushings due to diameter differences.

I'll see what Superpro says about shipping here and I'll also reach out to Rapido closer to the repair time.

Thanks guys!

The Rapido link didn't show up in the search like I thought it would, it was more toward the bottom. Interesting enough, it was below other unrelated crap that didn't apply. If you get a response from the Superpro, I'd be interested to hear what they say...

There's a few suppliers there in the USA so you'd be able to get them fairly quick or at least directly through their authorized dealer. I'd be getting them shipped straight from Australia to avoid tariffs lol. I will definitely keep you posted tho!

Quoted $40 for flat rate shipping from the USA. Not too bad!

Careful, I just sent a T5 tail housing to Canada and it got a 100% tariff on it. Guy had to pay an additional $200 USD (value of the tail) to get it.

I just cancelled an order from Germany because nobody would ship it and the only place wanted over $350. Twice the amount I paid for everything.

Hi all,

I used poly bushings on an SVT Focus and used silicone grease in them before install. If or when they make noise I drive the car onto ramps and get under there and spray them with silicone again. I think they last better and are quieter.

Just a thought.

Cheers

We always recommend boat trailer grease for all our bushings because it doesn’t wash out. Have all the bushings for the XR4Ti and Scorpio in stock as well as upgraded sway bars. We have been using the same company for all our bushings since we opened in 1985. Let us know if you have any questions.
