Sorry to be repetitive, but I just finished installing a set of Walrod LCA bushings in my 95 993 C2, and they are great. No more hunting and wandering in my lane, and the 50 mph shimmy is gone - car just feels tighter. My only advice on the job is to spend a lot of time removing and prepping the control arms, once you are ready to install the new bushings you are home free. Thanks to Chris for the bushings and to Mark & Darin at FD Motorsports for carrying this fine product.

Do these work on a turbo as well?
I have a 993tt with pss-9 and TRG sways.

Happy New Years Chris!
We are still installing the Walrod bushing package here and keeping our customers very happy with this great improvement !
Most common comment, "I forgot how good this car could handle."

Just installed a set of Chris Walrod's bushings on my 1997 993 C2S. Wow! What a dfference - the 58 MPH shimmy is gone and no more wandering while going straight. I opted for the exchange program, and that worked great. The new control arms were beautifully prepared, and having the new bushings already installed in the new arms made the job very simple and quick to complete. One interesting observation is that my old control arm bushings did not look bad at all. Before the change, when shaking the wheel side to side you could see a very slight movement of the center of the bushing even though you couldn't see the control arm itself move. My car has only 49,000 highway miles. The main symptoms were the slight steering wheel shimmy at about 56 to 60 MPH that wasn't there at lower or higher speeds, and a tendency of the car to wander when the wheel was straight, or to follow grooves in the road surface. Both of these symptoms have been completely resolved by the new bushings. Chris was great to work with and his communications are excellent. I highly recommend this bushing upgrade. Many thanks, Chris!

Just for info Bill, last weekend I visited one of the factories where the original RS bushings were and are still fabricated. I learnt a lot on that day. I was not at TRW but another supplier.
All the elephant parts are shipped from them. Those are exactly the RS bushings they have.
Durometer 85 shores on all RS bushings, 60 on street.
Surprisingly they manufacture all the bushings in street and RS strength for ALL the 993 chassis
from front wishbone to rear tie rods, side panels, v-arms, everything.
don't know why their agents sell only a few parts.
trying to figure out something for rennlisters and myself, at a good price.
would like to change all the rear rods and arms
I am talking rear suspension, for the front it is Chris' for you guys

Hello Chris,

Is it possible for me to press the new bushings in or do I need to exchange my control arm as a core? I live locally to you.

Thx

Does anybody replace the locknuts with new ones as specified in the manual when re-installing the control arms?

Thanks
