Hi all, i've bought a set of front polybushes for my st202 from Paul of Poland (gt4racing). I've managed to fit them properly but i didn't know that the lower control arm crush tubes were actually an OEM purchasable item, I did not have them at hand and hence did not install them. The car still feels much better and doesn't make any noises so it doesn't seem that there's any issues without the crush tubes in place. HOWEVER, i have been wondering about the possible misalignments or unintended movements that might occur under hard braking scenarios.
This is the std part 90389-21003 that is missing:  Do you think that there would be any ill consequences without these installed? Should I be worried that I might lose my front alignment or experience any noises in the future? As always, thanks for your help! |

I put them in. They are cheap and easy to install.
The diagrams show them going in from the top but you can easily put them in from the bottom. |
