Prothane Total Kit 5-Piece Bushing Set - Is this any good?
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 7:51 AM
I was needing to change my bushings and came across this in gravanatuning.com. I was wondering if this was worth the $129.99 as they advertise.

Also, I see that the kit mentions that it includes the Upper Motor Mount Bushing Kit and Lower Motor Mount Bushing Kit. My question is, Does the upper motor mount bushing kit mean the same as Upper Motor Mount? Same goes for the lower motor mount bushing kit. Or does the busking kit mean its a different part that goes with the upper motor mount?

they are worth it

the upper is a insert for the upper mount , for the 2.2 ohv and 2.4 tc motors , the eco would require a full mount which by itself is near the cost of that kit

the lower is the dog bone

a link to the exact thing your looking at would help

Also, my ride has been having some squeeking issue, sounds like it could be a suspension problem. Will these bushings help at all?

Squeeking could be a lot of things. I doubt the noise is your bushings. Maybe upper strut mounts?

if you need torque specs just ask.

the tranny mounts i have no clue on....running an auto..somebody step in please..

the control arm bushings you could do yourself...but without proper tools. ie press etc it's a pain.
I finally gave in and had the large bushings pressed in at 15 bucks a pop. I know JESUS!! but i was defeated and could have cared less.

Hope that all helps.

you provide the beer and I'm sure someone local would do it for free. The lower is a piece of cake, and the upper shouldn't be too dificult.
