Installed new Body Bushings
I installed my new EST body bushing kit this weekend on my 1969 Suburban. And I'll I can say is, WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I can't believe the difference it has made. Better ride, better handling and a lot of phantom noises just disappeared. That was the best $117 I have spent on this whole project. It was a fairly easy install, around 5 hrs (probably 3 hrs of goofing around ). The kit went in real well. I only had to cut one of the old bolts off, all the rest came off easy enough. The only real problem I had was with the core support mounts. The ones included in the kit didn't work, but I called EST and they are sending me some different ones. Highly recommend doing this.

Re: Installed new Body Bushings
Looks nice! I want some now.
Ronellison: I think when they are cracked, falling apart, torn, and/or missing.

Re: Installed new Body Bushings
You can get them from Summit or Jegs. $110 + shipping and all the hardware is included. As far as squeaking, I haven't heard any yet.

Re: Installed new Body Bushings
After pulling apart my 67 last week I couldnt believe how bad mine where. I had already ordered up a set to put back in when it goes back together.

Re: Installed new Body Bushings
Great timing for this post.
I'm about to put my 67 panel on the 4x4 burb frame and was just beginning the search for body mounts. You saved me the foot-work/research, thanks. |
