Hi:

Hoping that someone can help with this:

I'm considering replacing all of my suspension bushings with nylon (is that
right) replacements to try to tighten up the ride a bit. Does anyone know
of a reasonably priced online source for a bushing kit? Can you recommend a
particular kit? Would it be difficult for a reasonably experience home
mechanic to install the various bits? Any other recommendations on
suspension parts to replace in order to tighten things up a bit (sorry if
that's a wide open question).

Thanks for any advice.

Your looking at a lot of work.

Personally I use Energy Suspension parts. The fit is spot on and
the kits are complete.

If I were you, I'd start with the antisway bar and track bar bushings.

Any major squeaks from the poly bushings?

The urethane bushings will not squeak if they are assembled properly. I have
used them on a few vehicles, and there are 2 key things that need to be
done. First, all of the parts that touch the bushing need to be free of dirt
and any gritty substances when they are assembled, and second, they need to
be lubricated with the proper grease. Use the lubricant that the bushing
manufacturer recommends.
