Hotchkiss suspension parts

[Skip FIx]

Anyone used the new Hotchkiss suspension parts on their car, sway bars etc?

I used PST stuff with mixed results. I think the Hotchkiss rear sway bar looks nicer, the PST one doesn't fit the shape of the rear end very well. As for the front sway bar from PST it fits and works fine with the stock steering box but it requires work if you go with a 605 style box. Dale, va348 used a sway bar he got from a wrecking yard and it worked great. No clearance problems. As for polyurethane bushings in general they seem to work pretty well. I've had them on a couple of cars and didn't notice any extra harshness in the ride. I can't say if there was much difference in the handling because I installed them over the winter and the old bushings were pretty worn so it was hard to compare results. They have been known to squeek loudly but I didn't have any problems there.
