This is it here man... the front complete LCA's with ES are around 100 including delivery all up.

All u need is 17mm, 19mm, and 14mm spanner and/or sockets. hole saw bits for your drill, vice, hammer, jigsaw or electric saw and some spare time.

I see,so there's 4 for the complete front LCA's aye...Hmmmm.I wonder if it's worth doing the other 3.The Front LCA bushes I have (in my thread) I think are the top left ones (could be the far right one though),do U know Fast fwd?

I'm thinking if I replace only the one I have,is it enough or should I do other's also?

The front LCA's have three bushings the 4th circle in the middle is just the sway bar linkages.

The far left and the far right bushings are the most important on the front LCA's as they get the most use and get the most wear and tear. The far rear one's in that picture werent rearly that worn even after 270 thousand plus k's.

I suggest if your not that picky and just wanna do some and save some cash just do those two out of the front LCA's

And the Rear Trailing, Rear LCA's and Rear Compensator arms are all the most important. The rest wont need that much attention until 300+ thou.

far! fastfwd is going nuts. I wish you were here in melb to fully hook me up on this job haha. I want to do it myself due to the fact im on a low budget. The mechanics will probably charge me an arm and a leg and possibly more == but yeah, wouldn't have a clue on where to start. Someone link me to a page where i can buy some for my dc2r.

Well i cant tell you what these are in the mugen series they are different but ill explain what my Front ES ones were so you know.

The front two LCA bushings which need to be replaced mainly are these in the yellow circles.

These highlighted below are the bushings that fit into these two slots. As you can see in the picture they are exactly the same size and both bushings fit into either slots of the front LCA arm. So in the mugen series i would say the two would be very similar also. The only difference between the two in the ES Series is ones more of a jelly feel and ones more of a stiff rubber feel. I figured the lower bushings on the front LCA's would require the harder rubber as thats getting the most impact and usage. Could be wrong but it all seams to be working fine.

So maybe in the mugen series they only make one type that fit both. Even if you buy dual of the same set you cant go wrong as they fit in both holes perfectly.

I know man...im actually doing some cash diy's for some people in perth. Turbo kits, suspension setups etc. Just on the side cos i love doing it....

heres a links man...

Energy suspension australia - https://pontiworld.com.au/energysusp/index.php

Energy Suspension US - http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/

Energy suspension australia dont ever seam to have anything in stock for some reason. Doesnt really make sence if your going to be australian dealer for the product. I asked to order and they brushed me off..

So i went through Energy suspension US. I bought all the bushings including delivery as i said before for $430. Thats every single bushing on my EG becides engine mounts. Delivery was around $60 AUS and came within 5-7 days. I suggest just go with the US dealer. They have every single thing you need.

Btw i didnt use many of my rear LCA bushings and a few other things which ive circled in the picture below as i replaced them my NEW LCA's and New Sway bars etc which came with the bushings.. These below will all fit on your DC2 im pretty sure as the EG's are the same.

Ill sell them to ya for cheap...PM me if you would like them
