We're pleased to release our front subframe bushing kit, specific for the 3/S platform. These are bushings to replace your old, worn, and tired stock rubber bushings. These urethane replacements are a great way to get "connected" with your car again. We have run these bushings on our white/pink stealth for a couple of months now and it definitely tightens up the front end.

Buy them here :)

There is a guy on here that makes aluminum subframe bushings for the rear. That's what we run on the white/pink stealth. We don't have a urethane option for them right now.

And we do have OEM rear subframe bushings in stock right now as well.

I'll keep these in my train of thought for when I finally start working on the Stealth again.

We've been looking into other bushings of the car to get made in urethane, but it isn't easy. Hopefully we can find a solution for ya :)

We added the OEM rear subframe bushings to the site as well.

I wish Mitsu had stayed with the first gen LCA bushings. They are built so much better than that POS 2nd gen one you are talking about Jason.

Yeah, shame I already have reconditioned gen2 arms with solid rear bushings or id buy 1st gens, but that's 600 bucls id rather not spend at the moment, even though the two are directly interchangeable....

Thats the LCA bushing Jason and I were talking about. You can buy a factory replacement from Mitsubishi.

Somebody told me you could but I'd like to find it in poly. I found it in poly but only in camber correcting.

Hmmm... aluminum fronts or these urethane fronts.

I'm just doing polys for my front from GZP, I am the one who was having the rear solid ones made, there is not nearly as much play in the front ones as the rear since the bushings are significantly smaller.

Where could I get aluminum front subframe bushings? Or were you planning on having some made?

I guess I missed this post before. Those appear to be for a 1st gen. After some research on BAWC Hans pulled the trigger and ordered 3 poly sets from overseas even though at the time we weren’t sure if they would fit because they were for a different car. I guess before the order came in they confirmed they would fit 2nd gen 3s. I bought one of the sets and have them sitting here but haven’t had time to put them on (they look like they fit). Anyway I assume he is getting more of them so if people want a set you can get them much cheaper from him than you could get them from overseas yourself.

We're supposed to get some in by the end of the month (control arm bushings). These are bushings that cover every year of the control arm. I'm not quite sure it's worth carrying the super pro line any more. The pricing is just so far away from what these other bushings can be sold for. We are trying to stock as many as possible, but they are slow to come in (shipments every 3 months). Even with the shipments coming in every 3 months, they can't fill my complete orders every time :(. We'll do our best to try to keep them in stock for everyone.

Subframe bushings installed super easy and fit well guys. Thanks!

The only bushing really needed from super pro is the large one that fits in the pivot bracket, there are options for everything else. I looked into having these made for a while but it was not cost effective, so if you come up with another option for people that would be great. $100 plus for 2 bushings is pretty steep.

So the 2nd gen front end pivot bracket just bolts over the bushing rather than needing to be pressed in? Didn't realize that.

Our other source has all the options for bushings on the front control arms. Only bushing you can't get from them (if you have the newer style arm) is the small bushing on the bracket for the rear. The old style control arm bushing set comes with that bushing included. So, for the newer arms, the Super Pro control arm bracket bushing would be necessary if you want to replace them all.

Also, all of the bushings are sold as pairs. So, you only need one item per car to cover both control arms.

<< is seriously considering rebuilding 3-5 sets of LCA's with BJ's and bushings.
to see how they do and sell. 400$ a set of poly LCA is better than 400$ each for stockers.

FWIW I just replaced the small LCA bushings with superflex from GZP and so far holding up great! The ones from the 3sx kit lasted ~100 miles.

Thanks GZP!
