Bushings on the suspension... - 6G Celicas Forums

OK guys, I just read in Mr. E's website that he bought bushings and it tightened the handling.

"New Pro-flex poly suspension bushes. Because it's cheap and tightens up the handling"

Where are those bushings located and where can I buy some for my Celi? It only has 33,000 miles but I don't think it would hurt to get performance ones. Is there anything else that can make the car ride more like a new one? I am afraid my Dropzone coilovers combined with the Puertorican roads of hell shook loose my suspension components...maybe yes, maybe no but I want to make sure so in August when I go back home, I can replace some parts along with installing the Tein S-Techs and KYB GR-2s. Thanks in advance! =o)

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

This is off your topic. But you have a 1994 ST with only 33,000 miles? Thats amazing!

Yeah, hehe, my aunt only drove it 3,000 miles a year for the time she had it. It had 24,000 when I bought it in '02...now it has 33,000 and I don't know why...my dad barely drives it and I only put 400 on ti every 6 months. Oh well! =oP

On all fifth- and sixth-gen Celicas, you can replace/upgrade the rubber bushings on the strut rod (long arm on the rear suspension, one per side), the control arms (front suspension) and the front and rear sway bars.

The All-trac/GT4 also allows you to replace the bushings on the suspension arms, the four short arms on the rear suspension, two per side running from the centre of the car to the knuckle.
