Will mechanics change suspension bushings alone?
I have worn out bushings on my 2001 honda crv suspension bushings. Is there any shops that help me replace only the worn out bushings? I like to keep the original suspension parts.
Sure… Just realize that they have to take things off to replace bushings so it will be labor costs more than parts… And if bushings are shot, they may find that ball-joints & tie rod ends should be replaced too.
- Will Powerflex polyurethane bushings help my car achieve better handling and corner faster? My car is an 03 Honda Element awd and there's a brand called Powerflex that makes polyurethane bushings specifically for each car. In my case, for my front and rear anti sway bars they offer "street" and "race" polyurethane bushings for my Honda.
- Should I paint over a bad tear in my bumper, or order a new one and have the mechanics install it then have them paint it? I recently bought a used 1997 Honda Prelude. It's red and badly sun faded and has a bad tear on the rear bumper. I was wondering whether I should just have it painted over or order a whole new bumper and have the people at the shop install it and paint it for me. Any suggestions?
- How much of an improvement will these polyurethane control arms bushings give me? My car is a 2003 Honda Element awd. How much a of a handling improvement will it give me through curves percentage wise? Say I can take a curve at 80 mph, how much faster could I go through that same curve with these bushings (front and rear)?
- How much improvement will polyurethane bushings give me? I have a 2003 Honda Element awd and I've had all 4 sway bar links along with 2 front and rear sway bar bushings replaced. So far the car feels like it handles new. However, I've been looking into polyurethane bushings as I want to increase my cars ability to take corners and feel more stable. My question is if I can take a curve at 80 mph, how much faster(in mph) would I be able to take that same curve if I install polyurethane bushings on the control arms and sway bars?
