Full Poly Suspension Kit?
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 5:45 PM
Is there anyone who sells a Poly kit for the entire suspension (CAs, Sway Bars, etc etc.) or does everything have to be bought up separately?

I think it has to be baught seperatly, I got mine all seperate. I could be wrong though. If I remember correct they dont sell poly end links for our cars but you can make a set of your own by using some off a different application. I think the ones I used were from a honda and I just cut the metal sleeve in the middle down a bit to match my existing ones. Hope that helps, some others may have found a different way to do it.

Eff. Im going to have the suspension really really apart in the coming months so I was hoping to just get it all in one shot.

Good deal, I could not find any when I was doing mine. Good to know though

Advance auto had them on the shelf. It might be different in your area but you can at least order online if needed. Moog also has the "d" bushings as direct replacement if you have the 24mm bar

the only suspension bushings to replace on a factory j are the front sway bar, the control arms, and the torsion beam bushings.

aftermarket sways already come with poly end links. wouldn't be much of a "master kit" IMO. just buy them seperately.

i just got done redoing my suspension, was real fun, poly everything, just need to get drop struts for front and rear and a sway bar for the rear. i noticed the biggest difference when i did the front sway bar ends with moog poly end links and a front strut bar. TTR (turbo tech racing.com) sells a dam good kit for the front of our cars and their a good company to go through to get stuff.

and most cars have engine mounts that can benefit from replacement bushings. good luck replacing the bushings on stock j motor mounts. mounts need to be completely replaced, not just one bushing pressed out and another bushing pressed in.

...isn't the top motor mount from rk sport just an insert to be used in the stock mount?

yea, the bottom one needs to be replaced, but not everyone goes with ttr...although nicer looking, the rk sport one is much cheaper for the top.

if you have a 2200 or 2.4. the eco upper mount is different and does not have an insert available AND the insert is merely that, it takes up space but the stock rubber is still there. hardly a replacement.

Exactly, you still have all that soft rubber there, that is why we made a full replacement, and not just a "band aid"
