    Best Control Arm Bushings (CAB)

    My control arm busings are junk. And I need some new ones. What are the best, non OEM, ones for the best price and from where? I tried searching but got 98765434567 results and most of them were just how to do it.

      I like my powerflex CABs, they aren't noisy, and very streetable. Treehouse racing eyeballs would be a good choice if you want to run a 24v later on.

                  I have no complaints with my AKGs, but I would not mind trying THRs

                    Used to work there...

                    The THR cabs are pretty harsh but absolutely eliminate the shimmy. Thats what they are meant for. If you're looking for closer to stock feel just tighter, roll with the M3 Oem's.

                      +1 on M3 oem's

                      Cheaper, solid, and offset, I was impressed with the difference they made.

                        I did the 70a non offset CABs in my GFs car. All stock suspension, 225/50/16s on Momo wheels. Her "Brake Shudder" was terrible...that is why we changed CABs.

                        After the swap, no shudder could be felt AT ALL.

                        Her stock ones were fairly new, the PO said he did a full rebuild using stock parts in the late 90s and the car sat for 2 or 3 yeaars before we bought it. They certainly looked good and seemed firm.

                        I cannot tell you how much of a difference these made, just amazing.

                        Also only took me 20 minutes to swap, didn't even pull the control arms.
