March 15, 200422 yr What happens if I replace all the rubber suspension bushings with steel or aluminum....?
March 15, 200422 yr 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.
March 15, 200422 yr Try delrin, can't go wrong with self lubrication!!! :D I used it to make shifter bushings and it is wonderful stuff! pretty hard but not rock solid.
March 15, 200422 yr Author Whats Derlin and Zerks? I dont care how harsh the street ride is. ive rode in some pretty stiff cars, and I loved every bump.
March 15, 200422 yr 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.
