I am looking at replacing my lower control arm bushings sson. It's a shock I know, but it must be done at some point. So what are my best options? I have seen cobalts/g5's come through and get GM factory replacements, which seem to blow just as bad, if not worse than the OEM bushings. So what is suggested?

 

i think ottp makes a set that is sent down from god himself.

 

As sarcastic as you meant that to be. its the truth

 

haha tis true I bought them myself. They fit the fe5 arms so if you are a SS you are good to go.

 

i know it is duh they are worth buying tho. this is a good product offered by a good company.

 

And looky here you could even score it on sale!

damn gag me with a spoon I never thought I would agree with you.

 

^^^ lol definately a good product

 

ottp spherical ball things

 

this is true. but theres somethings that just cannot be denied. this being the best there is out there for this application.

 

That can be arranged John.



OTTP

 

is there any for the 2.2?

 

swap to fe5 control arms....(I dont remember which the 2.2 uses but I dont think its the SS ones.)

 

buy my SS/SC control arms and knuckles so I can get SS/TC stuff

 

lol im trying to switch to ss/tc stuff as well i want disk brakes lol but i want the best so im going with the tc stuff

 

CED has the TC control arms and struts/shocks a long with other parts.. I think rallyracer just got his struts/shocks in the mail not to long ago

 

control arms aren't any different. Knuckles, yes haha, but your hubs and axles are different. IIRC i had a 32mm socket to remove the axle nut on my SS/SC, when we installed my craziness, i had to go buy a 35mm....

 

You cant switch to TC hubs/knuckles unless youve got a late '07 SS/SC They wont work with any other ABS systems. And you cant put them on a2.2 or 2.4 because there are no axles available.

But really , they should be pretty good since they aren't rubber , they are sealed spherical bearings that shouldn't ware as long as they stay lubed.

 

shens...

 

you dont even have a fs thread... and maven rained on my parage about the tc brakes.... so shoot me a pm.

 

the brakes will work fine, they bolt right up....

 

That because I have yet to switch to TC stuff...once I do I'll have a FS thread

Sorry, didn't mean to get you all excited.

So all I need is TC knuckles, hubs and axles? ...then front and rear TC brakes?

 

it depends. for delta cars 04- and some early 07, with Delphi brake controlers, a front mod using Grand Am Pontiac wheel bearings permits the TC stuff. If you have an 07 with the Bosch brake controller the abs wheel speed signals are different, then you need the 08 TC wheel bearings....

 

I have an 07 ss/sc but have no idea how to tell which controllers I have... Is it something easy to check?

Switching to the Brembo's keeps sounding more and more like a pain in the ass ...thats it, Im driving to Powell's shop...I'll film the how to video while he installs
