Treehouse Racing - Control Arm Bushings

[m3f_baltimoreM_7fa1c288c5]

I've done a few control arm bushings before, including OEM replacement and Powerflex. I recently installed Treehouse's eyeball bushings and am very impressed.



Very simple to install, much easier than Powerflex, no lube or grease, no wrestling, no marking for alignment, no hurry up to weight suspension.



Realignment was not necessary either.

Nice, any pics of the ones you replaced?



How shot were they? Where did you get the TR ones?

oooh, review please on the new ride...what kind of increase in noise/vibration did they create compared to the powerflex pushings?

[m3f_baltimoreM_7fa1c288c5]

My old OEM units had some cracks starting. 77K miles on original pair. They weren't terrible, but I haven't bought anything for my car in a while.


I helped install at Treehouses shop in Nashville.

You know that the treehouse bushings are meant for 95 suspension geometry and unless you're running 95 LCA's, you have now added far too much caster?

Handling feels more direct now, less slop. I don't know if I can tell difference between powerflex but the install was much easier (no pressing or cutting the old inner bushing out).

p.s. i'll be getting these some day when i refresh my front control arms.:thumbsup2:

unless he has specifically changed his camber plates to offset the increased castor, the camber plates are still set for full castor, PLUS more from the LCAB's...

I have these on my car also. Mine is a 95 and where already on there when I bought the car so I don't know what stock feels like but I do love how the car feels.

Bushing? Looks like a solid piece of metal to me. :clueless:

[m3f_mugm3]

It's pretty close to being that. There is a white bushing in there that is very thin. At least that is how it is on my car.

About a 1/8" delron bushing insert which can be replaced.

Caster has been increased, which is generally a good thing for handling. Steering effort my have increase slightly, but the camber gain in turns will improve and outweigh any negative effects of steering effort.


I have adjustable camber plates, so I will play with the setup a bit to dial it in.
