Suspensions and bushes

Post by phunkydude »

Couple of questions.

Track rod end = tie rod end?
sway bar bushes = droplinks?
are they the same thing?

What other stuffs that usually needs replacing when facing with squeaky suspension over bump and knocking on footrest when hitting potholes.
-control arm bushes?
-what other bushes?
-ball joints?

When ordering, all must be X2 for both sides right?

Thanks.

you need tie rod end
droplinks
sway bar bushes (they are different to droplinks)
control arm bushes front and rear (offset is better)
ball joints (maybe)
possible struts and or strut tops

and yes order for both sides ;)

Sure is :thumleft:

But I do love how you're ordering a bunch of Australian made products from the UK...

Australian products that are made in QLD of all places & readily available over the counter from any of these listed vendors in QLD http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/su ... s.html#qld

Woot~ :lol:
It's good to post here before buying/doing anything.

Btw, are the droplinks and track/tie rod ends available locally as well?
Might get them all from local stores if that's so. :D
