All you have to do is read Stu's statement and if you know anything about engineering, you will swap the standard beam bushes for poly items and the trailing arm ones back to the OE spherical joints
. Mind you, I don't think it will matter too much, loading it on and off a trailer

Trailer!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont you swear at me Mr Rainbird
thats one thing i dont do!! instead i spend nearly 3 hours cleaning it at each show when its got wet
Anyway it would appear ive done mine the wrong way round then as i have poly bushes in the swing arms and the standard ford rubber bushes in the beam, but considering i do 2k miles roughly a year im not that fussed. I couldnt keep the bushes in the trailing arms as they would have melted when they were powder coated, and because one of them wasnt available ( or so i was told by ford) i had no other option but to poly bush them.
