i have a 2008 tls, should i change the compliance bushing to 04-06 for better handling? i heard somewhere 04-06 is slightly stiffer

You're better off with the PCI Compliance bushing if you want stiffer.

Yes. Why not? It is indeed stiffer...

that product link says discontinued because...

marcus/heeltoe put out a fb post yesterday saying they now offer the 2 compliance bushings without the extra bushings no one uses...so now it's cheaper and more applicable to what people want!

Yeah.... I panicked and wrote that then panicked and sent a message to Marcus. Then calmed down and scrolled down the page and saw the update.. Literally two days ago


Do you have them?

no i don't, i've thought about getting them but my original (107k miles) only have very slight tears. and i'm worried about the downgrade in ride quality, it already took a big nosedive with my 75a mounts

My car is right around there too! Haven't even LOOKED at them, but know damn sure they're bad.. My steering feels all over the place . Personally I'm gonna stick with OEM motor mounts but highly considering these.

haha well let me know how they are when you get them

if you take off the front wheels it's really easy to see them. i have very slight tears but nothing major. i talked to two former acura techs and they said it's one of the most over-replaced repairs on the TL, they said minor tears are fine it's when they get large you have to replace them. they said dealers love to replace this starting at very minor tears haha

do you get yearly or more often alignments?

thoiboi

Well I've put about 3k miles on the car last year so....

i put around 30k yearly so is it a good idea to install pci ? would it be reliable as stock?

Exactly this. Mine started to develop small cracks at 70,000 miles, so they were recommended for replacement. I have 90,000 on the car now and they look identical to back then. I'll replace them with OE units when the cracks get huge, probably 110-130,000 miles I'd imagine.

Oh Sickest TL

replaced mine last year. Just bought new control arms with bushing already in, rather then taking them out and pressing new shit in. Just seemed easier lol
