Bushings..

[77corona]

i have seen some people that have installed energy suspension bushings for the sway bar.. i went on there site and dont find anything for coronas.. do any other toyotas fit like celica or corolla..

i would really like to tighten the front end up.. also getting some bilstean shocks for the front..

I was thinking about the same thing. I have a '72 and all the rubber bushings are rotten. I think the thing to do would be to take the bushings out and measure them, then find what ever is close enough to work. Maybe someone at Energy suspension would be willing to work with you over the phone to find stuff that fits.

I used Bushings from a Toyota corolla 1.8 RWD
They are red in color . Got them at Parts America. I took my old bushings and matched them up with the kits they had available .

The only part I did not use was the threaded bolt that came with the kit,as the bolt did not go thru . so I used the original bolt.

That has worked for me, hope it works for ysou.

what year would that be corolla

I do not quite remember, but I know it was either 81-83 1.8 , or 84-87. RWD SR5
That 's why you have to take your old ones, and tell the parts guy to show you any bushings that they might have in stock so they could be matched.

well i just replace the front shocks and pitman arm last night. and man that was a pain for the pitman arm, didnt have a pickle fork so i tried for like a hour to get it off.. then after accouring one it took 2 mins... but i order some poly tie rod link bushings.. i think i am going to have someone install them then a alinment.. for betting on it for some long it still not to bad for steering strait..
