soobme Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 A lot of racers use al. bushings in the susp. They work GREAT for handeling, but are noisie, so if U do make sure to put zerks on ALL of them;) I have done this on a few cars, the ride is a little harsh on the street, but livable if U are looking for all out handeling.

stephenw22 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Zirks are grease nipples for injecting grease into stuff. Funny story about zirks - There was a loser mechanic at one place I worked at. Everyone hated him. He decided to quit and take a job at a competitor, so the mechanics got back at him. They installed zirks on his toolboxes, and FILLED them with grease. We had an air-powered grease gun (heavy-duty truck shop), so it only took a few minutes for each cabinet. Anyways, that's what zirks are.
