Just a matter of grammar: it's VISE, not vice.

Anyways, with this guide I think I can actually do this myself.

Then again, I'll need to look up how to remove the A Arm lol

A Chiltons or Hynes manual would be great to have for the removal of the a arm. I gotta check it on how to disconnect the ball joint.

i would do it if it was worth it for a dail driver. I dont race or anything like that but I want a really good suspension. I am going to drop it soon and Ialready have a Strut bar(front) and I am about to get a rear strut bar. and then I am going to get a 1" sway bar set (front and rear) (I think 1" is what I am getting I have to do more research first) but Iwant to make sure that I have the best handling that I can have. any thing else I could do? <br>

Pretty noticeable. I felt the frount end as more planted around hard cornering. These bushings are also good for killing wheel hop. QBE, u might wanna get some now that ur going turbo.

Hey guys I got the same bushings from Karo and installed them... however I accidentally put one of the big ones in backwards and since I didn't have any way to take it out without destroying it, I just said what the hell and installed it in the car.

I'm wondering if anyone else has made this mistake... is it going to be a big deal or not? What is the likelyhood that it will pop out? If it's gonna be a problem then I'll order up a new set and do it over again.

Thanks

You can barely tell the difference between the two sides (unless you take note of the part number on one side duh). I think it's an easy mistake everyone should watch out for.

Re: Oops...

But isnt the back side wider? Thats what i meant. It looked like it could only go in one way.

Nope both sides are the same diameter. Maybe you had a different brand? The only difference was the slight ridgeon one inner wall and radius on the opposite inner wall.
