I noticed the prothane bushings are listed only for 92-96 are the 97-00 bushings different?

they 97-00 should be the same. i got some free Daizen front LCA bushing too bad its 14* outside. when it gets warm i will do front upper and all rear bushings. the roads in chicago suck but i think the bushing will be fine. just have to drive a little more slalom then usual

cdk4219 do you have a link exactly where they are jegs site? thanks

With Prothane it list the front and rear kit from 92-96, but daizen has a 92-00 kit for the rear. A 92-96 Reuses the inner and outer sleeves, 97-00 requires a hydraulic press to install, and a 92-00 kit for the front requires a press and completely replaces all sleeves, so it made me wonder why theres a difference between the 92-96 and 97-00 kits.

**UPDATE FOR EVERYONE**

I've now got almost 7000 miles on the bushings. Still no complaints whatsoever. No noise or squeakiness from them. Its dropped to the 40's here and been up close to the 90's, so temperature change hasnt affected anything yet. Ive also been through plenty of rain. Still very satisfied

I've had them over a year and still no problems with them at all...

I'm considering these, but still worried about the ball joints being worn.
