Check out the difference in the stocker vs the ES bushing. I cant belive it. Im putting speedo gears in my tranny tailshaft and now is a great time to replace the TQ arm bushing. You can get to the bolts real easy and also grind the tabs off and drill the holes so the old stokcer comes off with no problem. Real easy!

man you got red

all i got was boring black.

 

there should have been two options when you ordered under the part number with an r at the end for red and i think b for black. at least that is how it was when i ordered that pos hyperflex kit.

 

hmmmm might have to get me one of those!!

 

I have them on both my cars and they make a world of difference and in my case, stopped a "clunk" I would hear when I put the car in gear. The clunk sound was from the torque arm hitting metal in the mount. Do it now, don't wait. The only better upgrade here would be going to a tubular T/A from Spohn or the like.

where can i get one of those from?

 

Summit, Jeg's, whoever carries ES products. They're about $12-14 each.

yep! 11.99 at Summit

 

i would assume so, but i'll ask anyway..

does the 3rdgen one fit in the 4thgen T56 holder?

or do i need to order a bushing for a LT1 car?

 

Boring black? Don't you mean Sleeper black?

 

lol, yea.. i dont like showing off my bushings either. :lala:

 

that was my point

 

Just make sure to have a look underneath the car before you order your bushing, there are two types. You need to check which way the "lips" of your torque arm are facing. They will either be towards the driveshaft or towards the driver's side of your car. Just order your corresponsing part and go at it.
Good luck, Efrain.

 

Also you can check some of the local chains. Some AutoZones around here carry ES bushings.

 

Yeah but they dont carry the TQ arm bushing, I checked! They dont even carry the 33mm sway bar bushing, I checked on that too. They do carry ES bushing but not all of them or what your looking for...

 

Ha, getting the thicker one back on is the fun part. I used every word in the book I think.

 

 

I got the same red TA bushing on mine along with the ES poly trans mount. Both pieces are worth their weight in gold! One of the cheaper and in my opinion absolutely necessary modifications you can do to your ride. Just the other day, a buddy of mine with a 90 Iroc was debating whether to spend $20 for the ES tranny mount, or buy the stock rubber piece of trash for $7. I told him he will have paid for the ES mount by the time he buys three of the stock POS mounts and spends the time to replace them every time they break. I also told him I managed to break the stock mount with a measly 305 TBI instead of a 5.7 TPI.

 

I did both mounts when i rebuilt my tranny and it was money well spent. -John
