Tammy is gong to open a can or worms lol.

Jason I was thinking about getting the trailing arm since the stock one is weak where the sway bolts up. Waste or no? I know pfadt makes the tab but seems kinda half ass.

Haha, Stephanie, why a can of worms? Is the bushing subject a sensitive one because from checking around, it seems so? I've been checking around and people like to do the whole Pedders versus Pfadt thing which is stupid as shit. I could care less who it comes from as long as its a good product and fits the bill for my intended use

No I meant if you want to do cradle bushings then everyone says do this bushing then that bushing. That kind of can lol. I am gong Pfadt for the most part, at some point Hotchkis rear brace and Pfadt strut brace. Don't care about name as long as it's good. I was going to replace toe link and trailing arms which have the new bushings but Jason says I don't need it. But still thinking of trailing arms just because of the sway bar mount weakness.

The sway bar bolts to the LCA not the trailing arm. For what you do not sure you need the arms and links. If you were to talk to Mike I'm almost sure he would say do bushings first.

I'm running the reinforcement tab and I've pushed the corners hard through the canyons and no issues yet "knock on wood". Chuck (cterry) is the only one I've know to crack that sway bar tab.

Haha, yeah I definitely see a lot of suspension threads going that direction too. Lots of people are like due hard fans of a particular company. I think there are a pod group of suspension vendors, and whichever one offers a quality product for a competitive price, I'll be there. I just hope I make the right decision the first go around. I may go all out and get the more expensive bushings that I REALLY want, since I don't want to drop out the rear end and pay for labor twice to get previous ones changed out.

True, I installed all the Pedders bushings before I went Supercharged. Mike stocks all the pedders stuff and I'm sure he will honor the sale price online. Give him a call and tell him their on sale.

Bitchin, thanks Jason.

Oh shit my bad lol. I know Mike would say bushings and that is a fortune. To me sways and springs are needed more. I would like to do the diff bush and cradle but not sure what that install would cost.

TCAT · 12-16-2011, 01:15 PM

The install on some cradle bushings and diff are a lot due to labor. I'm not sure how much Mike would charge though. The good thing is that the labor is minimal when doing the diff. bushings as long as your getting the subframe bushing done at the same time since the cradle is dropped anyhow.

Yeah while the rear is down might as well do both. Mike is too far for me. It's my dd And He is far from my work.

TCAT · 12-16-2011, 01:21 PM

Yeah, the diff bushings are cheap as hell too. The subs are a heart breaker, lol.

Agreed. Pfadt solid mounts ftw.

TCAT · 12-16-2011, 01:28 PM

Yeah, I wish they weren't so expensive, but they are top notch. You normally get what you pay for. I have other Pfadt components in my car and love them, so I can imagine I see subframe and diff bushings, as well as trailing arms and toes in my future. Plus, they look farkin awesome.
