WOW these are so affordable! =D
lol I might just pick these up
BUT does anyone out there think its better to the all metal ones? bc if these rip again then might as well get the good stuff.
the energy suspension ones will not rip, highly suggest getting those
I Have theses still in the box haven't had time or the money to put them in... I wounder if they really do make a difference
The ES bushings require yearly dis-assembly and re-greasing. The spherical bushings will just plain wear out with all the sand/dust,
I had ES bushings and they lasted one season before they developed excessive slop. THE best inserts for a DD are the harder mugen inserts.

I've alway heard good things about the es bushings!!!!!!! To each his own I guess!!!
brand spanking new the ES bushings are fine, but after road debris gets in the grease and a few miles are under the belt, the front LCA bushing wears and develops slop, it simply can not be helped due to the design of the front bushing.
This picture shows where the slop occurs, around the center metal sleeve, and between the LCA and bushing, the end results are similar to blown tierod ends

Yea but thats with the spring pushing down on it...... how do they look when the cars on the ground???
The bushing has the same slop in riding position. The wear occurs due to the in and out pressures of on and off the throttle and brake. The wear occurs slowly so it is not very evident to the driver untill it has gotten rather bad. You can greatly help this from occuring with constant hosing down of the undercarriage and regreasing at least every spring. If some type of boot could be DIY'd to keep the debris out that would be awesome.
