5 hours seems like a lot. That would be $400 to $600. Is this what others have paid?

The install itself doesn't take 5 hours. That sounds like an end-to-end job...remove control arms, fight like hell for an hour or two to get the old bushings OUT, clean, grease and install new CW bushings in control arms, and then re-install control arms on the car. I had mine done by THE Men themselves, (Chris and Robin) and can attest to the improvements, which are immediately noticable/felt. Fof3, since you're in the LA area you could probably book a time/date with them.

Well I finally finished pounding out the bushing's and cleaning them up. I plan on installing them tomorrow and taking the car for a spin. I'm surprised I still have a thumb. I probably hit it 50 times instead of the punch.

The DIY was spot on, the parts look great! But is there any other option getting the bushings out. Is cutting and pounding the **** out of them the only real option.

...cutting and pounding...yeah, pretty much...

To all bush(ing) wackers. I have seen other such bushings for sale in catalogs that stated these type will add road noise and vibration due to their rigid nature. Any notice of that much increase in the driver's seat? If not, sign me up also.

I haven't been able to tell any increase in road noise. I wouldn't care if there was, but I don't think there is. So far, I have found no down side at all to the modification. Thanks again Chris.

These may add a very slight anount of noise but I dont notice it. If they do it is minimal. They arent loud like aftermarket swaybars that need greased. Im certain that you will be very happy with them!

No additional noise that I can tell. Well worth the upgrade in steering responsiveness.

After a first bad expérience with Powerflex on the 964, I bought your kit from Carnewal for the 993.
Did the job last night, took me about 5 hours.
Great product, very happy with the result

The grease furnished is awesome

Sorry to ask but is an alignment necessary after installation of the bushings? Also, any chance of doing the job with the car jacked up or do you need a lift? Thanks.

boubi

You can do the job with the car jacked up, no problem !!
And I think doing an alignment is better, especially on the 993

Another shout out for Chris on these bushings. I had PSS10's installed a couple of weeks ago on the Turbo R and had the new bushings installed as preventative maintenance. They are awesome and so is Chris' service.

I have now had them installed on one 964 and one 993 with excellent results.

My symptoms are slight wandering on the road until the car warms up. When warmed up I guess the parts expand and the symptom goes away.

Thanks for the info on these. Will order a set.
