Default Solid beam mounts

Has anyone used these on the back of a 2wd saph cossie?

Not sure what would be better solid mounts or poly, bearing in mind the car will mainly be used on the road.

General feelings is solid is best, ive got them on my 4x4, and in all fairness, i didnt notice any difference in noise/ride quality over poly, but they sharpened it up alot.

They are dead easy to fit, as they come in two halfs! just put therm in place and bolt it up.

we have them on our webshop.

Hmmm.... So, lower the beam a bit, hack the old ones out and slot new ones in?
Or does the beam need to come right off?

Ideally you need to take the.beam out as getting the old bushes out is a fookin mission!!! they should really b pressed out!!! if i remember correctly i had to burn mine out in the end

i managed to pop mine out by using the cars weight with a large socket behind the bush, came out easy, otherwise cut them out, burning will work, but keep an extinguisher handy.

New ones are a 2 minuite fit.

Rainbird has always said to use Powerflex, so that's what I've used, and they've been a great move from the knackered Ford ones
