Front Front Lower WishBone -- new Bushes or Replace

Hi

Bushes are gone in the Lower Front Wishbone

Do I replace the whole Arm or just the bushes.

If I get a new arm, I want to upgrade to Urethane bushes. Whats the options?

Forget that idea, just get the Ikeya arms. Haven't got enough squeaks?

Chris do you sell these lower Arms, pm me Price Please delivered to Ireland

Is it ok to still drive on it?

This is what you would go with but are they not over kill for Normal

Road use and they cannot be used with stock suspension arms

Seem very pricy too, Evenually I want to get everything changed this year but springs and shocks

Do the Ikeya come with rubber or Urethane Bushes?

I don't sell them, I think Nic in Japan can do a good price on them. They are complete replacement arm sets, and instead of bushings they use spherical bearing rod end joints. They'll be fine, on the road, but noisier and harsher than stock. It will help greatly to get all the compliance out of ths suspension arms with your wheel set up.

Theres a member on here who will supply and fit bushes, just send the arms off to him. Thing is I cannot for the life of me remember who

Also Chris, isnt there some doubt as to the robustness of rose joints on normal roads?

I think Miko_Supra might be the one you're thinking of. I really want to get my bushes replaced too but I don't know whether to try and source stock ones or go with harsher poly ones.

Thats the man

Thanks but I am good to do myself just trying to get parts by the end of the week might be an issue

I will get lower Wish bones for now and look into the Ikeya Formula Setup suggested by Chris for whole car

I bet if I rolled in on that setup you would be like a kid at christmas

I presume if I was to go that route you would need to replace everything so the other stock parts would not be over stressed

For time being I think New Stock Lower Arms and TRD Bushes?

Have you seen the price of the Ikeya stuff?? :o But its on my dream list lol

Yes I have :O I think if you where doing it you would need to do everything together

My only reservation is availability of parts in a few years if you needed them

I don't think you can get replacement rubber bushes for the stock suspension. It's fit poly ones or buy entirely new suspension.

TRD do a small Majority of bushes still but I am holding off, just goin to fit the arms with the rubber bushes, inspect the rest and make a decision to get a full kit or not. Dont ask me why TRD dont still do them all, pain in the ass

Think you either go fully Urethan or not so you dont stress the other parts

I found this after searching on here:

Would they be of any use? They're meant for the Soarer.

Thanks, Think I will go with R2 Racing Control Arm Bushing Kit for 1993-98 Supra - Front

But saying that the PowerFlex bushes for the sames Money replace pretty much all front bushes not just the control arms

Forget that idea, just get the Ikeya arms. Haven't got enough squeaks?

Is it ok to run the lower arms with front OEM upper arms and rear OEM front and lower arms?

do you mean mix and match the bush's

Well the Ikeya Arms use spherical bearing rod end joints instead of bushes, just asking Chris Is it ok to run the lower arms Ikeya with OEM Arms (front upper, rear upper and lower), or will they cause too much stress to the other components

ah i'm with you

I would fit them as a set of top and bottom. Not having had a set to mess with there *will* be issues if the bottom arms have bushes with only compliance in one arc, and you fit them with stock top arms.
