Knuckle to Upper Control Arm Bushing.....

[95TalonOwner]

The bushings in my rear knuckles that connect them to the upper control arms went out on both sides. I went to the dealer and they said it is a non servicable part and that I need to purchase a new knuckle for each side which is about 170 bucks each. Why can't I just get new bushings and call it a day? Here are pics of each one.

For about $65 you can buy the rear suspension kit from Energy Suspension, which will replace most rear bushings with urthane. It does all 3 knuckle bushings, both upper control arm bushings & the trailing arm bushing on each side.

Poly bushings actually improved the ride on my car.

If you have any sort of aftermarket suspension, you probably won't really notice any differences as far as harshness. If the ride is different it will be very minimal, the benefits of urthane far outweigh any loss in comfort (I thought this was DSM Tuners, not old man, luxury car modifier)
