I got the ERP parts from Stable Energies and they were installed by Europerf Racing an affiliate with Stable Energies. I don't rememberr what they cost but the labor is what gets you. Of course you then need to re-align and corner balance the car afterwards. I drove the car once on the street and it felt much more precise. No track testiing yet.

Andy, did you replace the ball joint also while you were there?

Chris, what are the offending symptoms that you are experiencing while on the brakes? I am having a strange "juddering" feeling coming from the right front when braking. The brakes, tie-rods and tires are fine, so maybe it is the A-arm bushings failing. Incidentally, and forgive my ignorance, but can the A-arms be r&r ed without having to realign the car?

Default Bushes

Hi Gents

Just for your info, I fitted the UK powerflex poly bushes 2.5 years ago they've been ok but in the last year they have been very "creaky" over bumps and that is charachteristic of these bushes(according to my specialist) also some have accused them (poly Bushes) of having a rather 'wooden' feel to the steering.........but i'm no expert
