Steel bushings for adjustable control arms?

[Stealth_E]

I can't imagine he stocks more than one size, since there are not multiple sizes available, but maybe he does? I guess I won't know if mine are the right size until I get everything apart and actually attempt to install them....

No, no - I was sent the wrong size seals...right style, wrong size.

When I get it straightened out, I'll post a link.

Control arms are as you say.

So these teflon ends are sealed and self-lubricating, right? No prep before install or maintenance at all? I just ordered a set, but I'm considering a boot as well for added assurance of silence.

Yep, shouldn't be any need for a boot but it won't hurt of course.

I ordered some - they sent the wrong size.

I'm assuming you're talking about the boots because I haven't heard of me sending anything wrong. Well at least not recently.

Thanks Maximal, and sorry for the confusion everyone lol.

I've got it now though j2k4, you ordered boots from somebody else - not maximal, and THEY sent the wrong size. Cool beans.

No, you're good, sir - just thinking, as you say, that it can't hurt.

Yeah, got the info, but I'll make you a deal - they apparently all come bagged in quantities of six = equals three pairs of boots.

I'm gonna be in for a bit less than $35 for three sets, then (correcting this deal), and I'll throw a pair to you for $11, shipped - how's that sound?

Unless you need 'em sooner - they took about a week, first time - I'll find out tomorrow.

Anyway, if you decide to go the other way, they are: RERS 4, from Seals-It.

Let me know.

ALAN - I know I'm still not certified here, but I used to be, if you know what I mean.

Your call.

I actually need two pairs bud, so that may not work for me. And to top that off, I was going to try and install mine this weekend, so I may try to source them locally first. I'll let you know if I don't have any luck though, so thanks for the offer.

Are there a lot of you putting these boots on them? If so I might as well just offer them as an option so it only raises the price for the people that want them. Let me know what you guys are thinking on this.

I've ordered mine - I guess it just comes down to preference...I park the car in the winter, but there's always going to be a slight accumulation of schmutz at pivot points, and that drives me nuts, because it could conceivably develop into a squeak, which drives me batshit.

Offer them and call it the super-paranoid option, next up from teflon-only.

@Terry - Might be good to just offer them as an option. I know a lot of people, myself included like the piece of mind to keep the ends clean. The little cost involved for getting the boots is worth it in my mind. Especially for someone who DD's there car. Even with the Teflon coated ones they are eventually going to wear down due to the prolonged exposure to the environment. The boot is just another way to help keep the ends clean and lasting the longest possible time.

If I was still in the market, I'd want the boots. DD'ing a car picks up tons of grime.
