I did not re-align the car after this - just be sure to mark the castor bolt precisely and you should be fine.

Put these in yesterday. Took me longer than expected..... put on one of the front urethane bushings backwards - had to figure out a way to push it back out.
Wow, it makes a noticeable difference with the car's steering response - sharper and tighter! Thanks Chris.

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to make sure you were installing the same bushing as previously discussed. Don't want to miss a better option. So, increased road vibration or noise? Thanks glad to see you chose the color you did. Nice!

Replaced the bushings last night and did a 4 wheel alignment. Took me 5 hours with a couple of coffee breaks. Also pinned the tie rods to eliminate the flex in the rubber isolators.
The old bushings where cracked and it was not possible to align the wheels as they flexed to much.
Chris tipped me about Gert having them in stock, contacted Gert and the bushings where in Norway less than a couple of days later !!! GREAT SERVICE !
The car felt MUCH more precise after this operation
Thanks for a great product !
Now of to swap to a 3 spoke steering wheel . . .
damn slope . . .

Installed the new busings and they look and work great! I ran a wire wheel over the entire aluminum arms. Now I need to replace my stock turbo suspension then align.
Thanks Chris
