| Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a polyurethane control arm bushing kit for the front end of my 95 RMW. Summit doesn't list one for my car. I had a look at Energy Suspension's website and found the following:
Energy Suspension kit # 3.3113 (applications listed include 93-96 Cadillac Fleetwood & 80-92 Olds Custom Cruiser)
Energy Suspension kit # 3.3173 (applications listed include 91-96 Caprice & Impala, 91-96 Buick LeSabre)
Has anyone with an RMW used either of these? Which one is the correct one for my car? Does it depend on suspension RPO?
Thanks | |

| They should both work.
Energy Suspension - 3.3113G both sides
Energy Suspension - 3.3113R both sides
Energy Suspension - 3.3167G just bushings with metal shell, one side
Energy Suspension - 3.3167R just bushings with metal shell, one side
Energy Suspension - 3.3173G both sides
Energy Suspension - 3.3173R both sides | |

| I can't remember where you live, but unless it's Vancouver/Vancouver Island, there is nowhere in Canada with roads in good enough condition to allow poly bushings. You will regret your decision. | |

| Does anyone on this thread know where to source body isolation bushings for a '96 RMW? | |

| Agree with Jason on NOT using polyurethane bushings anywhere in the front suspension EXCEPT for the leading lower control arm bushing, which will tighten up the front end a tad with almost no reduction in ride quality.
I put poly bushings in the front of my 9C1 years ago and could never get the thing to stop squeaking. | |

| I have poly bushings in my front end, and they are just fine. I like the stiffness, and they do not squeek. I greased them before I put them in.
You might have to measure them, and get individual ones to match. | |

| Fred-----------The worst paved road you have in Florida is probably better than the best we have in Canada. Sure is the case in my province | |
