I did the Walrod bushings at the same time as my PSS10's. They're inexpensive and something to do while you're in there anyway. Very happy with the result.

Do your suspension now. Go out & enjoy it. Then after you can do the bushings, & pay for the labor & wheel alignment again. Let us know if you feel a difference.

Just do them, they are cheap, & only take a couple of hours. I also feel if you got more then 80kmi on the car you might as well do new ball joints as well.

Hi Alex,
I purchased my Elephant Bushes from FD Motorsports.

Thanks,

IXLR8

Mark, no one reported tire rub either on the recent thread. Yet we now know it does occur.

IXLR8

I'll shop around...I know there is some Scottish in me some where.

MarkD

I love your selective logic Alex

many have had tire rubbing issues... Search and ye shall find. It never was a secret...

when you want those Elephant bushings, just let us know!

IXLR8

No thanks!

MarkD

well, I for one am shocked

I still love ya
have a good night

Ok, we get it. You want to keep your car stock. Nothing wrong with that, for sure. I just don't know why you feel the need to take the thinly veiled jabs at items like the Walrod bushings. There is so much evidence of many happy customers that don't have any issues and don't need to do constant maintenance. Why not give it a rest?

IXLR8

Ed, its a discussion forum. And the recommendations are sometimes if not often, one sided. Nothing like the other side of the coin, if not, that would make this forum quite useless.

I've had Chris' bushings in my car for a while. There's no maintenance at all. They work. They're bushings. I installed them myself and I'm an idiot. I think Porsche wasn't really worried about the torn bushings being replaceable so they just vulcanized that crap rubber to the arm. Just like Steve Wiener's polybronze valve guides, Chris' bushings are an obvious improvement over a dumb design.

Ed Hughes

It certainly is, it is just that your side of the discussion seems to have some kind of axe to grind, for some reason. There is a reason there are so many positive comments about the Walrod parts.

IXLR8

Mike, they are not "vulcanized" to the control arms. They are pressed in as they are on all cars we see on public roads. The rubber bushing is as common as common gets.

Hardly a dumb design as they last hundreds of thousands of miles and are trouble-free (mine are sitting at 135K miles on my DD and look like new). And when they wear out, they'll get replaced as with any other component.

BTW, bushing being part of a control arm and not replaceable is quite common. Luckily there are aftermarket OEM bushings they can be replaced with.

Alex I couldn't agree with this statement more. What I and possibly others have a problem with is your insistance on pushing your opinion. You have posted 8 times in this thread without having first hand experience of the subject product. Commenting negatively on something you haven't used personally is a little unfair don't you think? There are obviously a great many satisfied people using the CW bushings.

IXLR8

Tim, no more than anybody else here jumping on the band wagon.

I never said they were junk, did I? I don't even think that. Its just not the way I would go given other options that are available. If others can blow their horn on their choice, so can I.

And for someone to say the rubber bushing are a dumb design (for street use or DE days, full time track is another matter), are all manufacturers using them dumb?

By the way, I get PMs agreeing with me on various topics. Isn't it sad the atmosphere here limits a person's freedom of speech.
