going to do a torsion bar job.

What bushings do I need/Is good practice to replace?
Other items?
The Poly-Graphite plastic bushings from Paragon, any good on a street car?

I`m thinking only the torsion tube mount and spring plate..

 

Do the whole job properly, there are four bearings and four bushings, check out www.944online.com ask for Ian.....

 

Four bearings? thinking about the cv joints? they`re all branf new..

 

He's got it confused with the torque tube.

Oops, sorry, i thought you were going for the torque tube the torsion bar has a number of bushings in and out, the newer Poly-Graphite bushings would be a great improvement compared with stock, but as a result they could be stiffer. Call up Jason or Skip at Paragon and see what they say. Sorry again for the confusion earlier

 

think I go with the Poly-Graphite bushings, much cheaper than Oem..

I`m not sure how much to lower the car though... should it be level when done? It`s quite low at the front, so Im gota drop it 1 1/2" at the back.
could I use the eccentric to make small adjustment ?

 

That what the eccentic is for, small adjustments. If you run out of adjustment, you have to re-index the bars.

 

Seems like the car already has been lowered at the eccentric. Should I change the eccentric, so It would be possible to adjust it both ways when Im done with the bar job?

 

No Lowering beyond the eccentric adjustment requires a t-bar reindex.

I run the poly graphite bushing on my race car and they sqeak like hell. I don't notice at racing speed since I am too busy, but do notice a lower speeds. Also since my interior is gone it really amplyfies the squeaking. I have been told the Delrin sping plate bushing don't squeak.

 

Yes, but the delerin is a bit pricey..
what bushings do I most likely have to replace?

 

I just got the same as paragon sell. They are Weltmeister, they are in VERY hard plastic... I didn't install them yet. I hope they will not squeak!

 

I went with delrin and although the installation was a pita, they don't squeak and they aren't all that bad on the street, but I run 550# in front and 650# rear, so I'm probably the best judge for ride quality on the street.

 

ended up with delerin bushings, more expensive .. but no squeaking.
