Who's got replacement bushings for a GTS suspension arms? Looking to change to something stiffer, delrin, Poly, etc. I've contacted some of the suppliers and nothing that will just press fit into the stock arm.

Thanks,
Carl

I put all new Delrin bushings a few months ago on a friend race GTS and i can tell you that it is not an easy task.
Don't even think of doing it without a good press .(and a propane torch)
Also,some of the A-arms surfaces where the bushing lips need to seat are raw casting and need to be machined/filed flat and square

Rick Maxwell at Woodhouse Performance (the race team) would be a good source for these arms. 402-426-9541. Tell him I sent you!

Did you ship my motor mounts yet?

I found a set for $600....ouch!

maybe I'll just change the front uppers. that's all that really need it.

Bobby Archer used to stock some performance bushings for Vipers. Roe also did some Delrin machining.

neither one anymore.

I just passed on some used Monoballs with arms. someone got a great deal. I dwelled on it several days.

Oh well. The Northwind ones are $600 ones.

Bobby's bushing set (100 pieces) installed on your A-arms are $3695 according to his website.
