energy suspension sh
Have anyone replaced the suspension bushing on your zr1? I noticed most of the rubber bushing on my Z have lots of cracks. I was thinking of replacing it with Energy suspension with polyeurothane bushing. Have anyone changed it on their car and how is the ride after the installed?
thanks shayne |

Re: energy suspension sh
I just finished installing Energy Suspension through out my Z for the same reason you mention.
Haven't driven it yet. Pete

Re: energy suspension sh
Done mine last winter. Done a few thousand miles on them since with no problems, squeeks etc. Can't comment on the ride difference as I fitted coilovers at the same time.
If you have access to a press that will really help.

Re: energy suspension sh
I took it for a drive and what a differance over bumps it's more stable doesn't jerk thru out the whole car.
More solid feel in the steering and more precise handling. Should've done it a long time ago. Pete

How difficult is it to replace all of the bushing? did you have it done or did you did it yourself? Great to hear that your project went well. shayne |
