Help With Bushing Kit - 89 Jeep Cherokee LTD
Hi:
Hoping that someone can help with this: I'm considering replacing all of my suspension bushings with nylon (is that right) replacements to try to tighten up the ride a bit. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced online source for a bushing kit? Can you recommend a particular kit? Would it be difficult for a reasonably experience home mechanic to install the various bits? Any other recommendations on suspension parts to replace in order to tighten things up a bit (sorry if that's a wide open question). Thanks for any advice. -- |

Personally I use Energy Suspension parts. The fit is spot on and the kits are complete. If I were you, I'd start with the antisway bar and track bar bushings. -- DougW |

I have used them on a few vehicles, and there are 2 key things that need to be done. First, all of the parts that touch the bushing need to be free of dirt and any gritty substances when they are assembled, and second, they need to be lubricated with the proper grease. Use the lubricant that the bushing manufacturer recommends. Chris |
