Hi. I read a statement recently to the effect that suspension bushings on these cars are going to be hardened due to age, and that a bushings refresh will do wonders for ride quality. Can somebody explain exactly what this process is? Are the bushings separate parts or are they associated with tie rods and such. (I'd assume the latter.) Conversely, how much steering resoonse is lost with the new-found compliance? Finally, what would be the $$ range to do this? I'm not interested in a suspension upgrade, only to refresh the stock M030 set up.
Cheers
Suspension bushings
Hi
I stumbled upon this looking into my car's issue. Dealer said the suspension boot on front left is cracked and the one on front right is worn. It comes with the "swing arm". I just bought for both sides and will be taking it to my local mechanic. The symptom is a creaking type sound from the front suspension when going over uneven pavement.
