    CAB replacement

    I need a new passenger front CAB and I'm trying to decide which is best for my needs. I don't really have any intent to track the car, but I do like to have a fun, tossable car for the occassional blast around a track. Should I just replace the entire control arm for something for durable? Suggestions please.

    I did the Powerflex FCAB's. Very pleased with the results.

    What's your mileage?

    As far as FCABs, most people here either go with either urethane bushings (power flex, uuc) or Meyle HDs.

    I have yet to see feedback from anyone that isn't happy with their choice.

    I decided on the Meyles as I don't intend to track the car and was not interested in a noticeably stiffer ride (although from reviews here, the ride is in no way harsh on the urethanes).

    I am very happy with the Meyles and will use them again.

    I have the UUC Polyeurethanes.

    I typically use Meyle HD..which is a great bushing.

    I had a set of Meyle FCAB's fail on me in under a week. Been very happy with Powerflex for a couple of years now.

    Come on, now.

    You can't float that out there without the full story.
