Front Suspension Rebuild I decided it was time to do the front suspension over. Too much rust and it doesn’t match my rear suspension’s color scheme.
The current state:
- For durability reasons I'm keeping the stock parts. I also prefer them aesthetically over aftermarket tubular stuff.
- Rubber bushings are the only thing I will consider. Minimizing NVH is a priority.
- I'll be reinstalling rubber motor mounts, as I really regret using poly for that location. The added vibration bugs me.

Looks great, just dug into mine also. Attempted to install stranos/konis and relized all my bushings were shot. So ordered all new moog stuff and brought it to the shop to be installed. They wanted 160$ to replace the bushings. After all the cost involved I just ordered all new umi stuff with roto joints. Yours looks awesome though.

Looks pretty nice. I did the same thing to mine last year.. I wish I could've caught you before you did it. The enormous amount of weld spatter on the k-member really bugs me on mine. I would've advised you clean it up before powdercoating. but, still much better than stock.
