polyurethane bushings for 2002 corolla

polyurethane bushings for 2002 corolla

Anyone know where i can get polyurethane bushings for my 2002 corolla?

I'm looking to do my complete suspension. definitly want the polyurethane bushings to go along with an H tech spring tokico blue shock setup. I wouldnt mind doing the sway bars to but last i heard the whitlines dont fit and the hothckiss would hit the steering knuckle or break under real hard driving

thanks for any help.

Last time I checked no one makes upgraded bushings for gen 8 Rollas. Also, I have an 01 with Tokico blues, H-techs, and Hotchkis sway bars. The ride is amazing! The revised front bar does not hit the steering knuckle but the first version did. I never heard of the Hotchkis bars breaking under hard driving. The way I drive I probably would have experienced that problem by now.

sux that there arent any bushings :-/
i will talk to a couple performace shops in the area. maybe their are universal bushings that can fit.

what kind of rim/tire size are you running with the H tech springs and tokico blues?
I'm planning to go 16 inch rim with 205/45 series tires.
I can imagine there is any bottoming out or rubbing with the proper 40-45 offset.

how do i know the hotchkis sway bar im buying is the new style that doesnt hit the sterring knuckle? is there a code/part number i should be getting?

thanks for the help.

Yeah I'm curious too.

I'm rolling on 17 x 7 wheels with a 40mm offset wrapped with Yokohama Parada Spec 2s. GRIP GRIP GRIP!!!!!! I rolled the rear fenders some there is no more rubbing.

The sway bar revision happened in 2004 shortly after they introduced the bars for 8th gen Rollas. Check out their web site hotchkis.net

I'm running a similar setup like Silver Bullet and have not experience any problems. I've even took out a chunk of the asphalt with my front swaybar when the road expanded due to temperature change.

SuperPro makes bushings for corollas and many other japanese imports that lacks aftermarket support.. there were a groupbuy on toyotanation a few weeks back.
IMO SuperPro is much higher quality than energy suspension. I've upgraded Front LCA pivot and "caster" bushings, front sway bar bushings, and I ordered rear control and trailing arm bushings in the group buy. But many would consider them pricey.. It costed me close to 300 for all the bushings (5sets, 18bushings total). Not including labor for pressing out the front lower control arm "caster" bushing.. Some may notice I left out rear sway bar bushings but my whiteline sway bar comes with polybushings also made by superpro.

Installation/removal of the bushings are a real PITA so make sure you are committed before you begin.. I'm also a member of Nasioc (subarus have a simular 4wheels macpherson strut suspension) and many will tell you upgrading to poly bushings are well worth the investment if you autoX or track your car.
