I may have found a source that will assemble a complete urethane bushing kit for the G2 trucks. Will post more as I conirm the information. Post here if you are interested.

 

Interested

I should have a video of the stock bushing (top) on the front suspension posted this weekend.

Spike

 

I'm interested.

 

Very interested. I have urethane bushings and motor/trans mounts on my S/R ZX2. Remakable difference from a stock ZX2. Stiffens everything right up. ( Keep it clean)

 

I too have been thinking about the bushings.[ask Spike]I have a guy here in town that said he would be interested in making them but we need atleast 50 orders to do it.Silver if you need measurements of the stock stuff I can get them for you.Stan

 

Stan's got a good idea and I hope the videos will reveal it.

Spike

 

I'm interested too!

couple of questions:

Someone had said that when they put them in another car of theirs, it "stiffened" everything up; would this affect ride in a straight line at all, or only when turning?

How do they help handling; do they reduce body roll? Would it produce a noticable handling difference?

How tough would they be to install, and what is a "general" cost for something like this?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks, later...

 

Interested here to.

Ruslow - I'm sure can get 50 people here to order from your guy if he's good

and how come energy suspension has been ignoring us?

 

No I did not mean to implie that i needed 50,this is Silver Bolts deal! What I meant was for me to get it done there had to be a min of 50 orders.If Silver can do a lesser number great then.
As for the reason energy won't do it is because of tooling costs for them for such a limited market.The die maker that I know said to make them he would inject mold them so there is a few molds that would have to be made to do it.And I am sure energy is doing it the same way.Stan

 

Stan's right... Limited market with a captial L.

I have spoken to Energy... not a lot of truck owners upgrade their bushings for handling reasons, they upgrade when the bushings are worn-out. So they dont have an application at all for the 97+ F150... if you have a '96 or earlier, you're set, otherwise we'll be waiting 3-4 years for Energy to get around to us.

Silver-Bolt: have you looked at the Daystar product offering?

HMMMMM very interested.....

 

I am working with Quickor Engineering here in town. They are a suspension and sway bar manufacturer. They do not make the bushings in house. They will assemble the necessary components for a complete kit. They claim to have done new sway bars for a couple of G2 Lightnings already. Once I get the final information I will post how to contact them and who the contact person is.

 

I sure hope this deal happens; I really want Silver-Bolt's living room to look like this:


...just with red bushings.
