Default Question about bushings, please help!

Hi, my 14 years old Tib's bushings are starting to crack some, I was thinking of replacing them all with the Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex kit. Has anyone ever used this before? I did some research on it, and some says they wear out faster than OEM bushings, and of course some says they make a HUGE difference..



If possible can I get some feedback from those who've installed them? Thanks!



Here's reference to the kit.. http://www.assaultech.com/energy_sus.../i-104789.aspx

That's a wicked set! I have the sway bar greasable bushings from them in the rear and they kick ass! Can't speak for the rest of them though. Been in for 3 years now and still look and feel brand new.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna buy it and spend a weekend with a couple of friends putting the new ones in. My only concern is that I hope I'll be able to get some of the old bushings out. 14 years of having them stuck in the car could possibly make getting them out a major pain.

Not sure of where you are located, but if you deal with winter weather and salt, 14 years is a major factor in ease of removal! Good luck!
