well i got them in, mev is a good guy and i also saw player 1s car sittin there, damb yer tint is dark lol, anywayz i got the bushings on and the wheel hop is virtually unnoticable...very very little at certain rpms but thats it, i recomend this mod to anyone who dont like the vibration of the mounts, peace.

 

so in your opinion $220.+ is worth this mod??????

 

Yeah, i am thinking the same thing. I love how they advertise it for $95
, then at the bottom, is says (Two required).

 

Worth it = yes.

 

Tofu, what's involved in installing these? How much did it cost you?

 

We used a lift, 16-19mm sockets/wrench, a electric saw and a press. It's very difficult if you do not have a press. It's pretty straight forward though, just unbolt the control arms (4 bolts) and use the press to press the new bushings into place after you torch or cut the majority of the old bushing out. After they are in place just re-install the control arms and your done.

 

sorry about that one mishap at the shop man, if you need to use the lift again just let me know.

 

I just ordered the JBP control arm bushings and the JBP motor mount. They look like very nice pieces, I can't wait to receive and install them!

 

lol the Tint is legal limit, it's really not all that dark, glad to hear you like the bushings, the motor mount helped alot with the wheel hope as well, and the vibration really isn't as bad as i origonally thought it might be. you get pretty used to it quickly.

 

i plan on gettin the motor mount and there new intake when it comes out, but ya the bushings are well worth the coin.

 

anybody have pics before installed and installed?
is this something you could do without a lift or press? I want to know i have had my eye on the wheel hop solution and these seem to be the best trade off between vibration and wheep hop elimination.
thanks guys.

 

I want to get these but would ge them installed professionally. How much would JBP charge just so i can get a rough estimate.

 

No prob man, I got the part, just need to install it!

 

can you install them by leaving the front bushing installed, pry the control arm out enough to reach the lower control arm bushing and use a air hammer to install the new CABs or no?

 

i was going to get those CAB but i heard that they only last a month or so lol so i didnt order them

 

mine after not even a year. contacted jbp, they told me i installed them wrong.

i had a thread on them, basicly i summed it up as by deisgn you cannot use a stiffer bushing in that location and expect it to last.

 

^2 lol screw that ****

 

I was waiting for Sharkey to post. It is simple that joint not only goes up and down in its travel it goes in and out...poly cant work. Stock bushings, or stiffer stock style bushings or a spherical joint. Take your pick. If you check the GMPP build book it tells you what to do, but i guess folks have to go down the road over and over...no disrespect, but its kind of like a cat eating goldfish out of the fish bowl. Everytime new fish are put in the bowl, those little fishies think: hey nice pussycat....

 

OK.... so where is the link to the GM build book that tells up how to fix wheel hop???

 

are the intense brand CABs the going to suffer the same fate?
