The bushings in my TSW rear controls arms are shot.

Anyone have any experience with the Ireland controls arms?
Do they add any noise?

Thanx!

 

I have no experience with them. Maybe you can source a set of new bushings to replace your worn ones. Much cheaper than new arms.

I'm using H-Sport rear arms & they are nice & quiet, plus have grease-able bushings. I bought mine from Outmotoring.

The TSW bushings look like they are molded in.
Doubt they can be replaced easily.
Wish they could, would be alot cheaper.

The H-Sport are on my list also.

How long have you had the H-Sports?

 

I've only had the H-Sports on for a few thousand miles. I know 2 local guys who have them. One has probably 90,000 on his & they are still quiet. That's why I went with them.

 

Way owns the TSW product line now. Why not just call/email him?

 

Totally forgot Way had acquired TSW, thanx Melangell.

Sent them an email.

Doesn't bother me too much that they are worn.
I'm sure the many track days and the rough Colorado roads contributed a lot to their demise.

 

Oh... might have been drinking earlier. TSW control arms... Tried buying them from Way but he had none and sold me H-sports instead. I kinda liked his write-up on them but it seems he doesn't actually carry them. The H-sport arms he installed have performed very satisfactorily.

 

Definitely go with the Hsports they have proven to be the best

Right now we don't have anymore TSW arms, or parts.

 

Thanx for the update and suggestion Way

 

The H-Sports are a much better control arm as far as the bushings are concerned than compared to the TSW.

No more feeling like my rear is on ice

 

Yep I bet with those worn bushings in those rear control arms the rear of the car was doing the 4 wheel steering thing for you. Not fun at all. Glad you got it fixed.
