ES control arm bushings?

[rusty]

i have a '97 dx and just installed rear hub bearings, set of kyb struts and mounts, outer tie rods and ball joins along with megan racing trailing arms. I am still getting some sway out of the front with the shift in the crown of the road like the tires are feeling flat. I remember a similar feeling on my 2nd gen escort before i installed a hyperflex kit on it.
So the real question is, are there any front control army bushing to replace these crap rubber ones with?

I just did a reverse look up on the bushing part #'s and notice that 90-98 pro use the same control arm bushings. Hoping to see if i can see if the escort bushings will work, if they do then the zx2 control arm bushing would be an upgrade for us.

From what i can tell, the zx2 control arm bushing should work. In about 2 weeks will have to order some from Rob at zx2 and give it a go. Will let u all know as soon as i get her done.

were the megan racing trailing arms.. made for the 2nd gen?

i recently bought the megan racing trailing arms, they are too long if you have drums, they can be used but the wheel will not be centered in the wheel opening and tow will need to be greatly adjusted.
The AWR trailing arms are just a little more expensive but alot better quality, i wish i would have gone with them.

i have drums.. too much hassle!

I still have drums on my dx, u don't have to swap to drum to use them just have to make sure that your ajust the tow.

this is how it is listed, and i will repeat, spend the few extra dollars and get the awr arms.

As far as the es bushing, i have been doing alot of cross referencing and i am gonna byte the bullet and spend the 30$ for the escort control arm set. I can't wait i am so tired of the bushing drift.

ended up spending a few dollars more and got my es bushings from summit racing, took 3 weeks on backorder to get them.
Looks like i will be trying out the install this weekend. Bushing play is getting very bad. I will have to make a quick garage setup to have my garage functional and find all my tools that have been put away for almost 2 years.
