New To Me IS300 Sportscross

[luminmiller]

I borrowed a lift at my buddies shop yesterday and replaced all the front end bushings and arms:

The install went smoothly and took about 6.5 hours with coffee breaks.
Today I am taking the car in for alignment and look forward to a spirited drive

succes!!

Success indeed!
Car is now aligned and I'm loving the front end transformation.
Much more fun to drive and is void of all clicks and clanks!

I had the staggered wheels from the sport cross powder coated and will use them as my summer set:

Are you satisfied with the greasable front sway bar bushings? Do you need to re-grease them often? And which grease did you use?

I am very happy with the greasable bushings and just re-greased a week ago.
On initial install I used the grease that came with the bushings. For the re-grease I just used normal bearing grease.
When I regressed last week I did one pump with grease gun and some squeezed out...so they are holding grease very well.

Thanks Johan,

I just installed them back on the car yesterday.
I liked the look of the black rims, but the stock staggered setup feels so much better on my sportscross.
I was getting traction control light coming on all the time, but with the beefy rear tires on the staggered setup light stays off!
Ill post some car pictures of the powder coated rims when the weather clears up a bit.
