Poly/Energy Suspinsion Endlinks 2000+ ?

Post by Hans »

What part numbers do I need? There used to be a good writeup on the old Bonneville Club, but I cannot seem to find a thread about it. What part numbers do I need for the font and rear on an 00?

I'd also like to know. The bar bushings are not the generic "D" shape like so many others. And the end-links seem to have a very large diameter spacer rather than a simple tube with a bolt through it. No luck on Energy Suspension or Prothane website. Any ideas out there ?
Hard to have a killer 2001 SSEi without polyurethane (with the exception of the suspension arms).

I believe the usual one used of the Energy Suspension is 9.8120R. Of you could buy the Moog endlinks which use the poly bushings. Frankly, I was unimpressed with the difference when I installed the Energy Suspension endlinks.

That probably depends on how worn the originals are. I know on my car it made a world of difference but my originals were looking pretty used up.
