Hi guys,
Have many of you replaced your suspension bushings over time due to their mileage or sloppy feeling? I know some of you have some pretty high mileage cars - still on the stock busings? This procedure is not mentioned often it seems...

If you've replaced them, what options are there besides the stock rubber ones from the dealer, and the metal mono-ball type that the performace parts places sell?

Just curious.... Thanks!!!

Still on original stock bushings at 200,000 km and the front end still feels tight to me...but I'm street use only.

Didja see this? http://www.chpltd.com/911_porsche_world/bush.html

Excellent Darryl! I had not seen that article! Thank you!

Do you happen to know who distributes that bushing set he developed?

The print article has a sidebar:

"For details of your nearest supplier and/or fitter contact Geoff Everett on 01865 331552; e-mail: info@milfordmicros.co.uk; website: www.milfordmicros.co.uk. Do please note, though, that Everett himself doesn't have the facility to sell direct to the public."

There's a "Porsche 911" section that talks about the bushes.

Hope this helps.

You can get them from a UK company called AutoFarm, which is mentioned a lot in the 911 & Porsche World mag. I contacted them previously, they will ship to the US: parts@autofarm.co.uk.

I was worried about mine at ~53K miles, but checked them using the method mentioned in the article and they were still nice and tight.
