"Just one word: Plastics"
« on: May 23, 2007, 09:02:56 PM »
I need 'em for my 95 Kick.  Can anyone tell me where to find 1) a urethane transfer case/transmission mount, 2) urethane trailing rod/control arm bushings?  I know that Energy Suspensions makes a generic tranny mount, but I don't think it would work.  I'm surprised that I didn't see anything at the Hawk or Calmini sites.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

When you find out, let me know too! The only replacements I've been able to find are at the dealer, EXPENSIVE , and the same soft rubber. BTW, nice use of reference quote. I bet no one under 30 here gets it.

I think that Dave Jones (SuperSuzuki) was working on these. Drop him an email at dave|removethispart|@k9rdj.co.uk
 he sells his stuff through one of the US vendors too.

I have a set of polyurethane OME bushes for the rear control arms (4 press-in bushings and sleeves).  It'd be $100 for the set, brand new.

These were discontinued about 2 years ago, but i've still got 2 sets.  1 is for mine (haven't gotten around to installing it) and the other was for my old 2-door, but never put them in.

Ahh, the Cinema...

Back on topic:

Is this what you are looking for?

You may need to modify the search a bit on this.  I found some rear suspension bushings for 24 bucks here...

Thanks all for the helpful replies.  Rhinoman, I emailed SuperSuzuki, and, crikeymike, I may send you a pm re those bushings.  Ack, I didn't see urethane parts on your part locator, but maybe I missed 'em.  In any case, I can go there if I end up using rubber.
