ShadowImg Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ^ Autozone here actually stocks these on the shelf even. I was surprised to see it after reading about them. Only thing I'm not sure of is how well the straps fit our cars. I recall seeing some threads saying you need to trim down the straps because they're way too big.

I recall seeing some threads saying you need to trim down the straps because they're way too big. rear ones bolt right on the fronts need the front edge of the straps need appox. 3/8" iirc ground off or cut off at a slight angle to clear other than that no problems. grease well.

ShadowImg Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What kind of grease do you use? I need to grease my cobb bushings, and actually just sent them an email they haven't replied to yet to ask what type of grease I should use. The stuff they sent in the clear containers didn't have any indication as to what it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowImg Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, I picked up white lithium grease, which is most likely what I will use if I don't hear back from them. From research I've done I found that apparently petroleum based grease (like lithium grease) will degrade urethane over time so you're supposed to use synthetic/non petroleum based stuff. Only problem is nobody seems to know exactly what that is (maybe not a product you can buy off the shelf at all) A common recommendation is "Blue Marine Grease" to give better life. I may hit up a boating shop and see what that runs at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeeeeYa Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Amsoil makes a great synthetic grease. I used it on my sway bar bushings and when I checked them after a year, then two, they were still fine. All poly bushings. I use it wherever I need grease. I've had the same tube for many years.

BigInALegacy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 just put the ones I got from ebay on. they were the energy suspension, 21mm. went on easy, no more clunking from my quick test drive. you can definitely tell the difference between the ES and the other ones.

Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I like AVO brackets better but remember to get longer bolts for the bar's brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
