my issue was the lugnuts got rounded off. dont use aluminum sockets and just replace the lugnuts when they look tired and dirty lol
and dont trust tire shop techs and their power tools

That sucks if the don't have an opening in the back plate. I guess, engineer who designed this stuff never had to replace those studs

Replaced the Walbro 255 with a new one and that fixed the lean condition but now seeing 9.5 afrs. Hopefully just a boost leak but I used an extra hanger from a 2005 - 1760A031 instead of my factory 02-04 hanger MN161238. Anyone aware of any differences between the two? Looks like a replacement holder is universal across all models: https://stmtuned.com/products/fuel-p...-oem-evo-7-8-9

So did an autocross event today, went home and swapped to my DD set of wheels. I noticed one of my super pro lower control arm bushing is pretty much destroyed. I swapped a previous set of lower control arm super pro bushings about 6 months ago since they were cracked and bulging out. Pretty disappointed with the duroball since it only lasted at most 6 months(not sure when it failed), probably can handle DD duty but obviously it can’t handle autocross. Wonder if this aided in my last set of tires odd inner tire wear.

Anywho anyone have some recommended bushings for the front control arm rear bushing?

Interesting failure. Maybe worth filling the gaps with urethane in it?

I’m not sure since it looks like it’s separating from the metal sleeve itself?

IIRC one of them is a somewhat avid autocrosser. The body of the bushing isn't made from poly like the Superpro so I wouldn't expect it to suffer a failure like you're seeing.

This is what i have also with no issues.

Odd failure. Like dallas pointed out maybe due to the holes in the bushing its not strong enough for autocross
