Replacing All The Bushings

[kimokalihi]

I'm gathering parts to rebuild a spare steering rack I have for my SS and I just bought whiteline KSR202 steering rack bushings and all new wheel bearings and seals. I'd like to replace at least any bushing underneath the car that would be easy to do while I have the hubs off and after I'm done with this I'm getting it aligned again so I'd like to replace any bushings that might mess with that or require alignment after replacing.

Which ones do I need to replace then? Also, should I go poly bushings or hardened STI rubber? I seem to recall Josh saying he would go STI hardened rubber because they're maintenance free. That sounds better to me. The car doesn't feel as solid as I'd like it to be and I'm suspecting it's control arm bushings and trailing arm bushings that are the culprits. I've already replaced engine, trans and pitch mounts with STI Group N and I'd also like to replace the trans crossmember and rear diff bushings but those are not that important right now.

Might as well do control arm front bushings and a ALK while you've got it apart. And swaybar pivot bushings, if you haven't already. That should take care of the front.
In the rear you'll want inner and outer lateral link bushings and trailing arm bushings along with swaybar pivot bushings again.
I prefer urethane for its durability and predictability. You could probably get it all from whiteline. You might check with Jamal, though.

Thanks Stephen. I have new whiteline poly bushings in the rear for my whiteline swaybar when I installed it so I'm good there. The front is a 20mm WRX wagon bar with the stock bushings so those need to be replaced.
