I keep wanting to replace all the worn-out bushings in my suspension. Only problem is, I don't know what to look for. I don't want to have to piece them all together individually, so it would be just dandy if there was a complete kit for our cars. Does anyone know where I can get these?

To replace them you usually need a press.

I would do Energy Suspension brand black bushings at home, you can pull the stock bushing shells with a hack saw. It's a PITA, but worth it if you dont have a press!

I wanna do hard rubber, not polyurethane. I've read that poly bushings don't last as long, need more maintenance, and start squeaking after a while.

Yeah, they may squeak, I drilled & tapped all bushings to install grease zerts.

I just wanted to warn you that you will need a press.
