Front Control Arm Bushings

[Heavyblaze]

I found that Prothane is making front control arm bushing from someone on Trailblazer SS website. http://www.prothanesuspensionparts.com/ the part #7-242.

I'm just about to replace all that crap up front, good find!

Interesting front strut assembly Moog has there. Never saw those before. Looks like three spring options with those.

Edit: Cheaper on EBay. $129 each.

Monroe makes a one-spring option assembled strut called Quick-Struts. For the nervous driveway mechanics who don't want to use compressors.

Those are actually what I have installed on mine. Had them ordered before I had joined, here. Otherwise, I would've ordered the Billsteins. They don't seem to be too bad. Doing a little research on these, on TrailVoy, the springs come in with specs comparable to a set 83's. Picked them up for about $100 each, on Amazon.

The article I found my info in was authored by Roadie, himself. The info about the springs being comparable to 83's was in a post by JDowning, on page 3. The thread is easy to find. Just search for Monroe Quick Struts, and you'll find it. I wouldve posted a link, but didnt want pollute this site with links to the OS, and didnt know if it was allowed or recomended. I already polluted it enough by referring to it.

We have no rules or tradition to not mention Trailvoy. Actually, they don't even have rules against mentioning us here. The controversy is entirely with GMTNation.com. The value of Trailvoy is in the archives, not the missing community of friendly folks who are no longer there. So link away all you want to the archives. At GMTNation, we have the same tradition - it's perfectly OK to link to Trailvoy. Vertical Scope is the only entity who seems threatened by the truth.

I will say I was ahead of the curve when I heard VS bought Trailvoy and the second owner bailed on us, and I started a process that ended up in a few months with creating ORTB by folks with many more technical chops than I. Took the rest of the volunteer Trailvoy staff over a year to figure it out and do something about it.
