    Best CA bushings

    What would you guys recommend as the best offset poly control arm bushings. I have been looking at the powerflex two piece units or the AKG poly offset control arm bushings.

          But aren't polly offset bushings the same thing just stiffer and give you better steering feel?

            Urethane bushings made a HUGE improvement in my braking, as well as steering feel....of course, the stock bushings were shot all to hell, so no big surprise there.

              so whihc one would be better the powerflex tw0 piece or the akg poly. I heard good thing about the powerflex but worried that the two piece will cause to develop play after time.

                Why doesn't anyone use the Ground Control CAB bearings? Oh wait, they cost even more than the Treehouse Racing CAB's.

                I have them on my car and there is no shimmy anywhere, anytime and the feedback is very direct.

                  I have AKGs. They fit great, have no chance of developing play or falling out due to the lip on the front of the bushing. They also improved steering feel and hard braking stability. The only thing I have had a problem with is that they squeak badly, but I didn't lube them up very well when I installed them. All poly stuff does this. Get some good marine grease and you should be good to go.
