One of the quickest, most economical ways of improving Fiero
handling is to replace all the O.E.M. rubber bushings with high
quality polyurethane. At their best, when new, the rubber
suspension pivot bushings are soft and compliant. When loaded,
as is the case in hard cornering, the rubber bushings distort
allowing the suspension pivot points to move relative to each
other. This causes the geometry to change resulting in poor
handling. After a short period of time the rubber deteriorates
making it difficult to hold alignment specifications and
deflection under load is magnified. The Chevette type front
suspension found on the early cars, was not designed with high
performance in mind but installing polyurethane bushings will
help.While the average driver may not notice such a
deterioration in handling under normal conditions, the
performance enthusiast will want to upgrade to more resilient
urethane. Polyurethane is available to replace all suspension
link bushings, control arm bushings, ball joint boots, sway bar
bushings, sway bar end link bushings, shock mount bushings and
cradle mounts. Installation of any of these components will make
noticeable improvements in handling and is highly recommended
for cars retaining standard suspension geometry.
