refreshing Aero suspension bits, struts, etc, etc Posted by Huey [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi All, so now have $$ to fix up my 95 Aero with 155k miles, all original suspension.
First, definitely new ball joints and tie rod ends,($80) cheap parts and DIY means cheap labor!!
Second, front wishbone poly bushes: eeuro $60
I can't seem to easily locate another source for Poly, so seems only option.
Third, found AUTOZONE had a red poly anti-roll bar mount for 19mm with bracket for like $18!!!
Next, finally get to get rid of some really crummy, 6 year old Pirelly P400's, probably go with Kumhos (again-price, people) $400-500.
The real quizzer for me are the dampers. Are mine due for Replacement? They *SEEM* okay (of course, compared to my '92's original dampers, are better) but I have a feeling that they should be replaced as I plan to keep, drive, and enjoy the car. Please chime in on whether I should fool around with the Konis (something about cutting the old shock!?) or go with Bilstein HD yellow that Eeuropart has for $140 ea. Seems like the Bilsteins are basically like OEM for the Aero. Or, the Sport suspension package from Genuine Saab for $601 which has F & R dampers/springs. Or would money be better spent on bigger anti sway bars ?($305, SAS)
Thanks in advance, Huey
