to Suspension experts Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() |
have all front suspension off my 83 900T. friend and i easily removed seized upper bushings by taking off mount, then clamping bushing/shaft in vice and working back and forth to break seize. came off like a dream. going to use twinsaabs idea of a mini ring compressor to install new bushings.
here's the question: what am i going to get in return for doing this job, in terms of improvement of ride?
other question (related) - all bushings except one were tight (ie limiting movement of a-arm). i assume bushings get clamped so that they in effect limit movement of a-arm and provide some shock absorption in the process.
is this correct or should unit free-float?
Do new bushings typically allow MORE? or LESS? movement?
thanks alot,
Wayne in Calgary
