Suspension Bushes and Headers

[Viper Craig]

Hi All,

I was curious if any of you have replaced your suspension bushes, and or, headers. I'm due to do both over the summer and was wondering a couple of things.

1. Where did you get the suspension bushes from? I'm struggling to find anywhere online so I'm guessing Chuck is the main man to go to again?

2. Are the bushes a job you can do at home or is it a strictly dealership only affair?

3. How best is it to tackle the headers? I've heard that they are easiest to remove from below, but there looks to be a bit of chassis in the way for this.

Any advice, help or opinions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig.

dropped the balengers down from the top, passenger side is easier than the drivers, as you can remove the A/C stuff and free up working space

tape up and protect the valve covers, you dont want to chip that red

I found the passenger side harder. Even with the heater stuff removed

Not that it was a hard job - just a little less space. Drivers side slotted in no problem without removing anything.

bushes are not available as of yet but some vendors are working on these, only option at present are new control arms.

Bushes can be done at home and yes Chuck supplied them (OEM ones anyway)

Bit of a PITA job, and won't be 5 mins but it is definately possible

Well the headers are going on. Drivers side is done and we're half way through getting the passenger side on. Can't wait for them to be done and see if I have any noise and performance difference!

I put Belangers on mine last year, and in my opinion it made a noticeable difference to both sound & performance.. I am confident that you will definitely enjoy the changes.
