do control arm bushings help with drivability and decrease wheel hop ? i hear that they will actually give back 1 or 2 hp . kind of like the motor mounts.is all of this true ? and how hard is the install ?thanks

no they don't add power. but they will help reduce wheelhop. and of course, ride stiffening and greater handling. just like motor mounts. they don't actually add horsepower or torque, just help increase the transfer.

you;re not gonna get hp from a SUSPENSION product....
basically they keep the wheels planted better.
any bushing setup basically keeps stuff from moving and puts more energy/power to the ground effectively.
ya thats kind of what i figured they would do i wasnt really expecting them to ad power just transfer the power better . how hard is the install and how much will they help on the wheel hop?

you have rip apart the suspension from what i hear. if you have someone do it for you, they will ass rape you for labor
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
usually around 180$ install....
medium to tough difficulty if you do it yourself. if you get frustrated easy, have a shop do it.
ok so all you realy have to do is disconnect the drivaxle,struts, brakes(installing new rotors and pads),then pull the control arm off right. is there anything else that im missing?

Here is a
HOW TO for the installation. They are only $35 with shipping at
CAR CUSTOMS and even if you spend around $180 on installation you are still only looking at $215 and I would say it is worth it.
eh just do it yourself. it may be a pain in the ass but it's worth the learning experience.

working on your own car is always fun and when its finished and works it makes you feel good about yourself

Just disconnect the ball joint and pop the a-arm out. I used a hole saw to cut through the rubber and then a hack saw to remove the outer ring. Pretty simple.
Make sure you have money though to get your car alligned afterwards... otherwise your looking at money for new tires in a hurry. Its worth the money in my opinion. My car has all the major bushings replaced and it pulls much harder under acceleration.
so how do we get the control arm off . i know that there is the 3 main bolts but then how do you go about getting the bolt to slide out of the hole that attaches the arm to the sturut and wheel hub?
