So I have a battery light (instrument panel), brake light (instrument panel), out tail light (instrument panel) that sometimes all come on together sometimes. Of course when i'm taking video in my car it doesn't happen but i think it's more common during the heat of the day and less common at night. I do have one out brake light so the tail light warming light makes sense to me but the brake and battery light coming on is proving annoying. I'm guessing it's a harness or alternator wire problem but thought i'd ask you guys before poking around with an ohm meter. Otherwise I'll be enjoying a beer reading a lot of cygnusx1.net

I wanted to post a picture or video but my camera being out seems to be a magic fix for it lol

Doat, they are a quality piece. It offers you all the adjustment you could possibly need. If you opt for the hem joints you have less play in the suspension.

I had these made with poly bushings instead of hem joints.

Do the hem joints wear out faster or are they noisier? Just wondering why you went with bushings instead?

They are noisier and they do wear out faster. My reason was because for this car I'm embracing the original intend of the car as a Grand Tourer. I want to be able to drive this car 3k miles in comfort if I wanted to.

I do have hem joints in my Cressida (also built by Beech Performance) and with over 4k miles still no issues. It is not as hard and noisy as one would think however.

Green truck gasket was great in my W58, but the Marlin Crawler bushing is even more amazing in the R154!

Did you replace the shifter bushing too to get the full benefit?

I didnt get the white bushing for the shift lever just the green gasket. I was a bit confuse on the marlin crawler website and was not sure which one to order.
Is the MC bushing a bit wider than the stock bushing or is everyone's recommendation of it because its just a newer replacement part for a worn out part?
And is that why it would give a better/tighter shift? MC part # for that particilar bushing anyone?
