Review on 🔴 Energy Suspension Red 4.3121R Axle Pivot Arm with Thrust Washers by Alejandro Labustin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Before buying, carefully inspect the condition of the old bushings.

The suspension is reinforced, which is good. These bushings have no outer jacket. The outer shell of the old bushing should remain in the I-beam spigot (the hole that holds the bushing). These bushings are pressed into the outer shell of the old bushing. This means that any rubber residue in the old bushing must be removed from the bodywork in order to install these new bushings. The old rubber grommet is glued to the outer shell. I had to use a hammer, chisel and file, not easy, annoying. Then I couldn't get all the rubber out of the case, so it was difficult to fit these bushings into the old case. I had to get some large washers and press them into the body with pivot bolts before installing. It also means that if the old bushing is too worn and the inner roller has fallen through the rubber and the outer sleeve wears out, it can be destroyed. Make sure your old bushings aren't too worn and that you are willing to work on removing the old rubber bushings before you buy them. The benefit of using these bushings is that you don't have to remove the old bushings from the I-beam with a ball joint or other type of press. Hand tools can be used but be prepared to do some work under the car to clean the old bushings.
