jsnlvxr Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 hi guys my next step for the supe is to strip the under sides,shotblast and powdercoat it all, then replace all the bushes i can. is there a list of bushes with a breakdown anywhere,and can i reuse the wish bones etc and just replace the bushes? i going to use powerflex ones i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4packet Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The Powerflex site is pretty good for listing the required bushes and where they go. If you're interested I have the rear R2 Racing kit minus the upper arm bushes for sale (have sold the Supra now). This includes 8 (4 each side) bushes which I think covers all the lower control arm bushes. Never used, still with instruction sheet, original packaging and grease. Just opened to remove the upper arm bushes. £75 + postage. Can provide more info/images etc if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can't replace the ball joints which is the big downside to just replacing the bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Burley Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 As Dunk says, the upper rear wishbones have two bushes and a ball joint each. I bought a bush kit and was going to leave the ball joints. As it turned out, one of the ball joints was shot, and I damaged the other wishbone during dis-assembly. I know its more cost but I really recommend buying new OEM rear wishbones and not bothering trying to replace the bushes on them. The other rear bushes are pretty straightforward, and it makes a massive improvement to the handling of the car. I bought a set of SuperPro bushes from Whifbitz, and new upper wishbones from my friendly Toyota dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Two of the lower rear arms also have ball joints on them, one controls the toe the other the camber. The front end has ball joints on both the upper and lower arms, the lower arm controls the camber and caster Edited January 5, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
