Every time I do something on my Viper I look to see if you have a video on it already. Thanks for making these!
Would you prefer to source some controls arms off the car, and swap in some completed arms?
What made a bigger difference; the control arm bushings or sway bar bushings and sway bar end links?
Your the man. Thanks. Making my bushing swaps go with much less hassle.
Thanks for posting this video.
So after 3 years how are the bushings holding up?
I am concerned how the outer surface just goes straight into the a-arm casting. Do you see any issues with wearing the a-arm itself?
Thanks!
Thank you for a great job explaining & demonstrating the procedures. A big thank you for creating the video and editing all the footage.You truly deserve a pat on the back for your efforts !
Do you have the PN for the poly kit?
Awesome video, I just got the same bushings today so this will be a great reference. I noticed the other bushings are pretty bad as well, especially the ones that hold the shock in place, any idea where I can get these?
Geez how do you mess fitting a CUT washer into a CUT bolt? Pretty sure they were the ones shoving round pegs into the square holes as kids… anyway thx for showing actual wrenching on your viper since thats pretty much how I'm going to be taking care of my future viper haha
Thanks for the video! I'm in the process of installing the SVR Tech bushing kit on my Gen2. The inner serrated washer on the front upper control arm pivot shaft is cracked and needs replaced for this particular kit. Do you still have the ones removed from your car? I can't seem to find a part number or source for them.
Awesome Vid! I have a 97 GTS in blue and white. I will be doing the same bushing replacement soon, and I'm dreading it. This video really helps!
Nice car! I have the same 2k GTS ACR Gunmetal Grey with silver stripes. I am getting ready to do my bushings, I have just turned 30k miles. What tires are you running? I used to have Michelins but they stopped making the 18" for the rear tires.
