ISO Super Pro Bushings

As long as I don't have to remove a bunch of near 10 year old bolts to do this mod, I'd be interested. My steering response is sloppy (although some of it is due to nearly done bushings in my LCAs...

Speaking of which, what would a quote be for both pairs of bushings for LCAs? I think it is in the 200$ range right? Maybe we could run a parallel GB for those as well since finding bushings in North America is now essentially impossible?

If you can list out the part numbers then I can talk to them directly.

I'm due to replace a few bushings in the front suspension, so you may already have an interested party ;)

I looked them up yesterday so here they are. What I don't understand is the differentiation of the 3 first ones, which is posted after the list:

SPF2454K Front Control Arm Lower Rear Bushing (1)
SPF2573K Front Control Arm Lower Rear Bushing (2)
SPF2574K Front Control Arm Lower Rear Bushing (3)
SPF2453K Front Control Arm Lower-Front Bushing
SPF3450K Front Steering Rack & Pinion Shaft Guide.....Manual Steering (does this mean that it isn't compatible with our power steering?? Did some 323s come w/o PS?)

Important instructions
(1) PS & DS standard
(2) PS increased DS standard caster
(3) PS & DS increased or decrease caster
 
For the LCAs, I bought my Pedders set from Corksport a few years ago, but can't find them on the site any longer. They were about $100 for the set (four bushings).

I also got an email from Hardrace stating their reinforced steering bushing is $45. I believe I'm going to go that route.

You actually got a reply from Hardrace? What email did you use? I tried contacting them and got nothing.

Also, for the Pedders, I'll be ordering mine through Crossover. I will be doing a small GB later in the winter for my fellow Canucks. Contact Sam and he can setup something for anyone else.
 
I'll look for it on my work email (for some reason, I can't find it). It was only about a week ago (maybe they gave it more credibility because it came up from a "corporation"). But their reply was about as terse as possible - about a 10 word reply to my paragraph.

I like my Pedders; one would have thought that Pedders, Whiteline, Prothane would have more options seeing that BJ chassis is a bit more prevalent in that part of the world (specifically I was looking for poly. bushings for the four rear lateral links).

it has to do with adjustments to your alignment. PS and DS stand for passenger/driver side. keep in mind that is for the AU market (RHD). sorry to bring back from the dead, whats the status on this? the shop tells me i need new lower control arms because of torn bushings. i am searching for poly alternatives.

corksport lists Pedders bushings for the 91-95 Ford Escort, 90-94 Protege, on their website. do you carry lower control arm bushings for the 3rd gen protege ES? thanks.
thanks

I just decided to go with the Pedders bushings because they were the only ones I was able to get my hands on (sold at Crossover).
