It seems the design is for the sleeve to rotate in the bushing, so I just slide the sleeve out, put the grease into the channels in the bushing and slide the sleeve back in. Way easier than the original install.
I know this thread was posted a while ago, but I'll give my opinion. I installed the full prothane polyurethane bushing kit on my 2G about two years ago I believe. Honestly the nvh wasn't super noticeable. What is noticeable is the amount of noise they make if you don't grease them about once a...
Unsure if I've ever really got the rears hot enough to warrant upgrading them to the vented setup. You should be able to swap them to a GST with calipers, rotors, and pads without trouble.I have a 3G master cylinder and brake booster and outlander front brakes and I'm happy with the setup...
I used Prothane 13-505-BL in the front and back. I drilled into the motor mount brackets that attach to the trans and enlarged the holes for bigger bolts to fill the 1G metal bushings.My brother used thicker thicker metal bushings that worked with the stock motor mount bolts with no...
I always noticed way more vibration in the interior with the driver's side motor mount converted to poly. My solution was to put 1G Prothane bushings in the front and back mounts of my 2G and OEM on the driver and passenger sides. It depends on the motor though. My brother's car with full poly...
I am also interested in seeing what other people have come up with. I've seen people change the switchpoint to dial it in and haven't had time to look at it, so hopefully someone can chime in with actual experience.
Have you boost leak tested it? Does the throttle hit the throttle stop on the back of the throttle body? Make sure all of the barbs and fittings on the intake manifold and throttle body are connected to something or capped. A boost leak test would also tell you, but you can spray some brake...
The coating thing is actually pretty legit. I talked to the company a few years ago when I built my motor. Shoot them an email if you aren't sold on it. I'll never build another motor without coated bearings! It's definitely not skimping.https://www.calicocoatings.com/bearings/
Send the bearings off to be coated. I got mine done at Calico Coatings in NC. They'll put special shells over the bearing surface that'll get it to where you need it. It worked for my car and my brother's car.
For anyone else looking, I just ordered EMPI 86-2222-D boots for about $2.50 each. Less than $13 to my door. You have to put in 97 model year or earlier. For some reason, 98 and 99 aren't included in the fitment database.
Hey guys. I've attempted searching for quite a while, so forgive me if I've missed it somewhere. Does anyone know of good aftermarket outer rear axle boots for a 2G AWD with LSD? I got Beck Arnley 103-2517 for the inner rear. Thanks!
