suspension arms

[samus21]

can anyone help me out. I want to put a good aftermarket suspension arms and bushing. I'm not sure what a good brand would be and what to look for.

There are not any arms other than the megan racing trailing arms for our cars.

Prothane makes the best full bushing kit.

how much better does your car ride when you put the bushings on?

They make a good improvement in the handling department. If your asking about ride quality the increase NVH (noise vibration and harshness)

what would you consider nvh? My car shakes when im at 80mph or above so that probably wouldn't help? or is that just an alignment problem?

Tire balance or worn front end parts/alignment issues.

all the bushings are worn and dry rotted. I'm replacing them this summer when I have the time and money. So this should help with that. I also am getting new tire for my set of 17" rims and ill have it aligned. hopefully that solves that issue.

Have you checked your tierods and ball joints as well?

worn out as well. haha the car was exported to the middle east. the previous owner was in the marines and she had the car over there. so all the rubber is dry rotted. I'm slowly replacing all of it. I'm taking the engine out and rebuilding it. Also would you know where one could acquire the weather striping for the quarter panel window? its worn as well and looks like crap.

The glass and weather stripping are literaly attatched together as a unit. So you would need to replace the whole window to get new trim, on that window anyways.

Would this be hard to do myself? Where Would I find this part could I get its part number?

ok so I found the glass my but how easy is it to replace. would it just be better if i took it to a shop?
