So how bad do you think this would be on a mostly street driven IRS setup

Kerry you need to buy this and report the results :D

Other than the wheel hop and the loose front steering it drive just fine.
I bet that would be way to stiff for me.

Let me tell you about a pain in the ass job those are to do.

I had the solid diff bushings in mine, helped out alittle at the drag strip. Didn't really notice anymore noise.

Holesaw ftw. Still sucks to replace them though

You don't have to, I already know. We replaced the bushings in Thejeanyus's 03 several years ago

Just the diff or everything? Apparently its an 'all or none' deal to see any real benefits.
Seems to me it would make NVH go through the roof but according to several on there you do all and the IRS will operate as it should without killing your back. May consider this for the wife's since all of her bushings probably need replacing anyhow

The price for the complete IRS bushing kit is $595.00. Individual component prices are listed below. Note, as of 6-01-09 we have unfortunately been forced to eliminate the free freight.

That's sounds very high. I didn't pay that much for the irs!!

Actually, quite the contrary. The ride is quite noticeably improved. This is because the control arms are no longer tight and bound up in the rubber OEM bushings. The control arm now articulate freely which IMPROVES the ride. Only changing the springs and or shocks will change the ride! :D

Well word travels fast on the internet! :chug:


(ok, maybe it takes a month!) :banana2:

[QWKSNKE]

Ordered a couple of pieces today.

The only reason I didn't go ahead and order the whole kit is because I am to lazy to drop the IRS and replace all of the bushings right now

[SvoBrown]

Can I get the sizes of the bushing before you put them in. Make copy's???
