Doesnt look like it has all the rear bushings tho?

Who got this kit? Does it come with everything i need?

I'd suggest you take the car to a more specialised suspension shop. Pedders is too generic and from my past experience don't always give the right, nor good, advice. Unless of course you've come across a really good one.

Don't be intimidated by the specialist performance shops. If you know what you want, and how much you can afford, they'll usually give much better advice than a generic Pedders place that deals with Falcons and Camrys and commodores all day.

Ok sorry to bring up my old thread but i still need a little help with this...

I've replaced almost every bushing on my car now, these are the ones ive replaced...

ES - Front Coil Spring Isolators
ES - Rear Coil Spring Isolators
ES - Tie Rod Dust Boots
ES - Front Sway Bar End Links
MPR - Lower control arms
Whiteline - Rear sway bar end links
Skunk2 - Front upper ball joint
ES - Front Shock Mount
ES - Shifter Stabilizer
Skunk2 - Rear Upper Control Arm
Skunk2 - front uppder control arm
ES - Steering Rack Bushings - Power Steering
ES - Front Control Arm Set
ES - Rear Control Arm Set
ES - Ball Joint Dust Boots
ES - Rear Trailing Arm Bushings
ES - Rear Compensator Arm Bushings
ES - Front Control Arm Bushings
ES - Front Sway Bar Bushings
ES - Steering Rack Bushings
ES - Ball Joint Dust Boots

I'm still getting a little issue with my steering, now its not pulling to the left but it feel a little unstable in my hands. when pushing it it feels like it either ready to go left or right and i have to hold the wheel tight.

is it maybe im being paranoid and thats just the way a front wheel drive car drives with 250hp+ atw's

My civic has always had aroudn 200-250hp atw's for over 3 years but just recently since i put new rims, more camber etc its been a little different. Feels a little the car just wants to go wild and let loose out of my hands

probably just the new alignment settings
speaking of which what are you alignment settings?

**FastFwd** · 02-10-2009 02:45 PM

lol dunno! thats one thing i need badly...an alignment because ive done so much work on the susp, it would be totally out.

should i get that done first and then see?

**vinnY** · 02-10-2009 02:48 PM

well that's probably why it's pulling like a mofo and feels insteady

You must do a front and rear wheel alignment again after replacing the bushes. Remember to get a printout of the settings as well. If you know what settings you want, then let the tyre place know beforehand.

Wheel alignments is something i have no idea about. how do i know what settings i want and how is it measured?
