Re: 1LE panhard bar bushings only

Not to be a twit; but why would anybody in their right mind try to change the bushings in a stock stamped-rubber suspension part? (especially given that it's damn near impossible to change em without destroying the weenie stock part)

A far more realistic thing to do would be to simply replace the whole bar with something .... substantial.

Re: 1LE panhard bar bushings only

A way past the dilemma then, being as how that part can be changed out in a matter of minutes, might be to buy the altogether superior part for when you're actively using (driving) the car; put the OE one in storage; and if someday somehow someone somewhere who would actually somehow prefer to see that the stock garbage is still on it is likely to look at it, put it back on for that occasion.

It's really kind of amazing how weenie that stock thing is. The LCAs are even worse (I'd make the same suggestion re. those as well). Either one, you can bend in your hands. You won't BELIEVE the difference in how the car drives when the parts holding the rear end in place are actually ... holding it in place.

Do a quick google search for the 1LE part numbers.

They are the same parts used for any WS6 equipped car.

True, just 1LE is much cooler and altogether better.

Unless you have a B4C 1LE or a very rare 1LE with A/C they aren't "cool" at all..

And at that, only the front brakes and baffled gas tank are actually doing anything better than non 1LE cars anyway... Replace and store...
