I love coming into threads with fun punch lines. Anyway, just as an FYI, we have the entire xB1 set of bushings in stock and ready to ship. Black only though ladies and gents!

Enjoy! HUGE difference and response from a CHEAP mod.

 

You have pictures for reference as to where the first two sets go? Is a press required to get the old bushings out? These are poly right?

 

All of the parts are poly. The first set for the rear trailing arm, and the second set is the front control arm set.

 

Is a press required to do any of them?

 

May be needed for the control arm ones, but that is about it.

 

Are those the only bushings Energy Suspension made for the xA/xB? I thought they were going to make motor mount inserts, and rack & pinion bushings also.

 

They did also make motor mounts.

The front sway bushing/endlink set fits the xa as well?

 

I have not gotten confirmation of this.

 

made? did energy suspension stop making scion stuff?

 

No. They are still producing tons of Scion stuff.

They did not however confirm fitment to the xA from the xB1 bushings

 

ok good, i was getting sccccared, thinking damn first perrin now energy

 

Do you have installation instructions?

BTW, the swaybar one will fit the xA, because the swaybar and it's mounts are the same, I have installed endlink kits on both, the $14 ones

 

so the bushings fit an xA?? All of them, even engine??

 

This kit fits both the xA and 1st gen. xB. Both use the same motor mounts, sway bar endlinks (I'm not sure about the sway bar bushings itself, as the diamater may be different, but the endlinks have the same OEM part numbers). The torsion beam, control arm, and rack and pinion bushings are also the same.

 

You can upgrade the inner ones when the stock ones wear out (about 100K). The outter ones are like 25 bucks at Autozone and are red poly.

 

how easy of a DIYer are these? lets say, in comparison to installing a set of coilovers (the extent of my experience thus far)

 

I hate exposing how much of a n00b I am when it comes to suspension stuff, but this is all I recognize. I know what they are and where they go as I've replaced them on a previous car of mine but that's it. I don't know what to call them and I don't recognize the other images though I'm sure they're basically the same thing, but for the rear?

I'd like to learn more about suspension stuff, it's really a big weak point for me. Are these in any way better than the stock setup? Or are they basically replacement parts? If they're better could someone explain how?

 

bump.

 

They are called bushings. Standard bushings are made from rubber, which is quite forgiving and can easily flex under cornering and aggressive driving. These are made from polyurethane, which is a more aggressive material which does not flex or bow under hard driving, thus creating a more rigid aggressive driving experience more like that of a track car.

These are full stock replacements sir.
