jon521 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 hey there, I am in need of some upper control arm bushings for my 521 and I was wondering if anyone knew a place I could get some or anyone that has some on here? and also, on a different topic, I am in need of some of those window felt channels for the door windows and was wondering if anyone knew where to get some or if anyone, for some reason, had any?

boxboy Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Napa has or at least had a few months ago the upper control arm rubbers. I think I paid $18 for them. 1 Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 cool, thanks! as far as the felt runners, 40 bucks seems like alot for strips of felt haha, is it possible to buy cheaper, bigger ones, and then cut them to fit the windows? Quote Link to comment

Uncle Laulau Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Not to butt in, however don't the bottom pieces of felt stop a down window from rattling, it seems the side runner pictured will only stop rattling while the window is partly up.This is driving me crazy in my truck so I was exited to read this post, until I figured it wouldn't stop my rattling while the window was down, am I tripping?

jon521 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 laulau, i believe you are right. but im not totally sure. and my 521 has been in the shop ever since ive got it, for various problems, but i dont have all the felt runners, will my windows leak in the rain? Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 On the felt, I seem to remember some people saying the runs were too tight and didnt work well. Ill look for the thread I bought some from Zhiguli510 a while back and havent put them in. They look very nice. Fast shipping. Heres the thread His stuff Im thinking my truck is always going to be ugly, so im toying with the idea of just putting them in. Just my thoughts from reading this forum a few times. :P Jeff Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 The channels for the felt run down inside the door at least a foot....so the window won't rattle. The squeegee helps to keep rain out of the door and the strip on the inside of the door...???? not quite sure, other than it fills the gap. :) Quote Link to comment
