I have White Line bars, they have the poly bushings. Does anyone make poly bushings for other parts of the suspension for our cars?

Let me know Charlie, I'm interested in getting all the front and rear bushing for the car. What do you all have on your car, how does it ride/handle?

Thanks,

Dave

I have had many different setups in the past. My Alltrac currently has all poly front bushings with a Whiteline swaybar with all solid rear subframe mounts with a Whiteline rear swaybar. The rear bushings are stock, but they have some spherical bearings stock... I haven't gotten a chance to drive it like this though (added all the front poly stuff and swaybar with the motor swap).

The poly bushings make a noticeable difference. You will feel a lot more of the road (imperfections, etc.) and the handling is more controlled.

If I remember right, I have mostly the rear bushings. I'll try to look through the garage tonight.

Man, now that I've found confirmation that Whiteline made swaybars front and rear for the All-Trac...

Where can I get all of these bushings of which you speak, Charlie?


Sorry for the hijack.

I haven't bought new bushings in 5+ years, so you'll have to find them yourself. (atobe's suggestions are good )

As for the rear swaybar on the Alltrac - any Celica Alltrac swaybar will work (ST165/ST185/ST205). For the 185/205 bars, watch out for clearance on the brake/fuel lines that go near the bar. You may also have to watch for clearance on the brake line mounts on the strut, but that is the same problem that the Celica guys have. The front swaybar is the same as the FWD Camry bar.

I was going to ask if the ST205 rear is still made (I imagine it will be the firmest, seeing as the ST205 was supposed to be the sportsiest GT4) but figured I'll look.

Thanks.

hijack off. :p

Edit: Do the SV21 and SV25 use the same bushings in the rear? The front looks similar enough I believe that will work, but I haven't taken a hard look at the rear end of either as they behave well back there.

The ST185 and ST205 rear swaybars are the same...

The rears on the SV25 match up to the Celica Alltrac... if you want to replace anything back there, go with stuff meant for the Celica Alltrac. Unless it is the outer two bushings on the lateral links - those are spherical bearings from the factory and should be kept stock (though, new stock parts will stop the clunking...).

The SuperPro parts I have left are:

SPF823K - Rear Lower t/arm bush kit
SPF1220K - Rear control arm outer bush
SPF1221K - Rear control arm inner bush

Those are only a few of the complete set for the rear. I don't need any of them as I don't have a FWD Camry any more...
