Jason15036 Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I was wondering where I could get the torque bar bushings in the front for a 95-97 seville sts. my rubber bushings are worn the hell out. Please help. What is the 0-60 time on a 95-97 seville sts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I got replacement bushings at the dealer, but I know that my NAPA store could have gotten them in POLY if I wanted them. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I did not know you could change the rubber on the torque strut "dog bones". Places I tried would only sell whole strut, not the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the dog bones holding the engine? If so, I think they are sold as an assembly, Sorry, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I believe he's talking about the "strut rod" bushings, where the forward most lower suspension link bolts to the car (in front of the wheel). Is this correct Jason? Be advised that the part changed for the 1997 model year, so '97 bushings MAY not fit an earlier car, although that's only a suggestion. http://jadcock.oldsgmail.com/cadsls/images/caddyperf.gif Click there for a graph showing acceleration times for all sorts of FWD Cadillacs. There are two '95 STS cars there. One was about 6.6 seconds to 60, the other about 6.4 seconds. '96 STS was 6.4; '97 STS was 6.9. The engine in all three is effectively the same. You'll find that there will be some variability in numbers due to production tolerances, actual track/testing conditions, etc. Figure an average of around 6.5 seconds, although any one car could be faster or slower than that.

Scotty Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Ah, if it is the strut rod bushings I replaced mine on my 91 with POLY, the directional stability improved greatly! Quite a big job however as you need to remove the lower control arm, I did a major overhaul at that time, including; control arm bushings, lower ball joints, hub bearings, stabilizer bar bushings, strut rod bushings, and brakes all my bump induced noise disappeared and afterward she handled incredibly!
