Loyale 89 front bushings


Recommended Posts

I used DRW bushings. They work well and I've heard good things about them.

Some bushings will need to be burned out with a blow torch and cleaned up with a steel pipe brush. 

Some bushings have metal sleeves that allowed them to be pressed in upon assembly at Fuji. If you burned out a bushing and the replacement one doesn't fit, check to see if there's a sleeve. The sleeves have to be cut out with a hacksaw (some bushings are designed to fit inside the sleeves so double-triple check before you go cutting away)

It may be a good idea to inspect all the other bushings as well as your strut mounts.

DRW works for me. I have gen one cars. Not sure how much he has for your generation but he seems to do a great job all around. 
 

On the gen one rear differential hanger bushings I did indeed have to cut out the sleeves. And his urethane replacements do not have either inner or outer sleeve. But there seems to be a lot of confidence in them as he makes them. 
 

From sight I’m thinking those control arm bushings aren’t much different in that they appear to have an inner and outer sleeve. But my eyes are old. Either way you’ll do well with one of the few small businesses helping us.
