2) is it essential to grease the delrin bushing? I did not, therefore I am concerned.

Thanks

1) No it will not... The arm should move freely when disconnected from the spindle.

2) it not essential but it is always nice to lube it it up.

Initial feedback says that turn-in response has improved greatly. Makes the steering more responsive, similar in feel to 99 ACR.

I installed mine in the beginning of the weekend as well. They are great! The steering does feel tighter. The suspension also feels tighter over small bumps. I believe its due to the fact that the existing mush bushings aren't soaking up any of the bumps now. Also, I only have the JLM upper mount. I believe I should get the other mounts as well. It seems they are the week link. Now, it feels like the motor shakes want to move around a lot more under hard acceleration.

Thanx Nemo. Great product!

i just finished my install last night , all i can say is "wow" what a differnce these make. i have the tein coilovers and all 3 boomba mounts on the car before the install and still after intalling these it made a world of differnce.

some of my thoughts on this product,

1- wish i would of made this one of my first mods, the car handles so much better.
2- no more wheel hop at all , and i mean none under any condition.

3- any one thinking about buying these you won't regeret it one bit , this is one of those mods that actually give you more than you pay for.


great product Nemo , keep up the good work .

160ft lbs crushes the spacers...

[SRT-4ToFast]

Nice , i need a set.
Ill be calling you soon.

[srt4hokie]

Nemo what is the absolute best lube/grease to use for these bushing? Also are these torque specks correct?

85 ft-lbs for the Delrin bolts and 160 ft-lbs for the rear bolt

Some one made mention that 160 on the rears was crushing the spacers

[pap]

I torque mine down to 160lbs and every couple of weeks the spacers seem to get loose between the bushing and flange. Its almost like the spacers get smaller. Kinda weird. I have to loosen the bolts then retighten to remedy the problem. They make a racket when they are loose too.

Please advise
