Replacement Springs

Post by Buffman »

I haven't confirmed yet, but possible I have a broken front pass coilover spring. Is it me or do the autostores not sell replacements? NAPA, Autozone, Advance, etc don't list any springs at all, and neither does Rock auto? Are we forced to go OEM, or Aftermarket (IE performance brands)?

The larger bushing on the lower control arm mount is toast. Dealer is $98 for just that bushing. Do our control arms interchange with other years, or does someone have a part # for an aftermarket cheaper bushing>?

I see energy suspension makes bushings for our front control arms. Most catalogs interchange our FLCAs with up to 2002 cars...

The whole thing is literally rusted away from the inside. The main culprit is the AC drip hose that's been dripping all over it for years..

I replaced my LCA's from an 01 RS. I think I got a pair on rs25.com from a guy who only wanted like $35 for them. They were in perfect shape too.

I just ended up getting some replacement ones for $115 each new. Junk yards were wanting $100 for used ones. No thanks

well it's got new pair of LCAs, BJs, and Bushings. Now time for an alignment :) I've got the smaller pro-thane bushings for the LCA if anyone wants them, make me a good offer on them :)
