Control Arm Bushings Recommendation

[Carl S.]

I need a set of control arm bushings. Elephant has them but at $255 a bit pricy for my budget build.

URO has them at a much more budget friendly price. Will these be ok for now?

The plan for my car is just a weekend driver. No track time.

Carl,don't install URO bushings,they're junk.Do a thread search on this topic.

That's what I figured, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Not sure of the quality but I think Rennline also makes them. Probably cheaper than elephant racing.

[URO Parts]

Hi guys, here are a few posts from another forum relating experiences with our firm-version "HD" Control Arm Bushing Kit 901 341 421 02KHD for 1969-1989 911, which are about 30% more firm than OE bushings. They're not quite as firm as "racing" bushings, but for street cars that can be a good thing.

Just got the car realigned today and I can't believe how tight the front end feels."

Have about 1,000 miles on them and they are working great. No idea how long they will last, but having completed the job and how easy it was, will have no problem doing it again 5 or more years from now."

Thanks for the info.
I did run across the HD URO bushings and thought they would be too stiff. That info. helps.

I'd be curious about the shocks in my struts as I need them as well.

I am considering the Elephant Turbo tie rod kit. is it worth the extra or just stick with stock tie rod ends. I have the rack out and want to replace it all while apart.
