Aftermarket axle bushing?
Wednesday, November 22, 2006 10:57 PM
Anyone ever found a polyurethane aftermarket bushing that fits the rear axle? The part at the front of the rear wheel wells, where it bolts to the chassis?

I've got the Alero IRS swap already in there... but I'd replace the bushings if there was a stiffer bushing available

Not going to be much use unless you've got bushings for there that arm connects to the knuckle.

You got me... I figured if I could find a J-body rear bushing... I could also find a complete N-body set too But since most people on here have J-bodies... heh....

Anyway.. I know RSM used to sell a complete N-body set with 16 bushings... which for the life of me, I can't figure out the last two... (Three each side in the front - one in the big one, two in the small one... four each side in the rear - two at each end of the trailing arm)... where are the other two??

I wonder where RSM used to get them... Energy? Prothane?

Lenko: I'd be interested in a whole kit too (at a decent price of course). I'd do some digging, let me know if you find anything.
McMoney: I wish I had half the tools and resources you have. Want to sell a complete set?

I contacted Prothane... they only have the front control arm bushings. Not the rear ones I want

McMoney... let me know when you've got sets for sale I've got a hueg N-body market for you to tap into as well!!
