Hi guys,
currently after some front droplinks and front + rear bushes to fit to my 95 GR. I'm hoping this solves some of the tramlining issues it has.

Where would be the best place to buy these from?

Cheers

Droplinks from camskill.

Bushes from any local shop, but, get it from Camskill as well, if you do not want to fudge around and get the wrong parts.

You can probably get the information here--> viewtopic.php?f=21&t=22336

Are your dog arms and rear bushes in good condition, as well as the rear shocks?

Just bear in mind, my car is a 95 GPX, same age, and the rear shocks were far gone, on mine. Fronts are still in good condition.

Ok thanks. What signs should I look for to see if the rear shocks / bushes are in bad condition?

For the record, it was my mechanic who told me about them, followed by him pointing out the signs.

For the bushes, they have spilt lines in them, if I recall correctly, like old rubber, in my case, which were then replaced with polyurethanes.

I cannot recall, on how to test the shocks, but I "think" there was free play, as in your wheel can be pushed around slightly, when hoisted above ground. The car will also feel "unsteady" when going over bumps. We should ask Bennoz and the other experts around here, or check the suspension thread.

Also, before you go nuts on your suspension, have a look at your engine mounts too.
My ride improved a great deal after they were changed, a few months before my suspension was done.

I bought OEM engine mounts, which uses rubber, for a smoother ride, versus aftermarket polyurethane types.

Also, all work were done by my mechanic. My responsibiliy was to source parts and pay him, for his hard, honest work.
