just fitted some new rear beam bushes (flo-flex) to my rear beam, but my question is the bush comes in 2 sections, when the top section is fitted the bush is higher than the original ford bush?
or do i just fit the bottom section?

with


without


cheers shaun

 

With I say, looks better not having a gap there if nothing else, but up to you.

it goes on top mate,

 

Ok I think I'll fit it with it on, it just looks slot bigger than standard one's
cheers shaun

 

Yup - goes on top... some have them fixed but your one is removable. So were mine

I did need a longer bolt to get it started... but otherwise no problem.

 

Cheers andy,original bolts no good then?
Cheers shaun

 

i used new orginial bolts from ford, no problem there for me.

 

Can't believe how clean that^^^ car/parts look, mine is caked in mud and grime!!

I found two types of bolts arrived when I bought new ones last time around Shaun. I used the longer ones to line it all up then unscrewed them and fitted the originals... sorry if confused you there... it was just to make lining up and initial pulling up easier.

Thanks for the compliment Tab... but I'm not bufty and she does get her fair share of dirt too

 

cheers andy, putting it all back together over the weekend!
cheers shaun

 

You're obviously much better at cleaning that I am, fancy cleaning my car!!

Bloody southern nancy with his duster out again.....ya bufty

 

You know me, only the best second hand parts will do

 

Best way mate lol

Ive been out and looked at my rear beam bushes tonight as I have the same ones on mine. Ive got the seperate part on the bottom.....I thought to my self bugger me, Ive fitted them wrong! So I dropped the beam to move them over but, looking at the seperate part it has a recess that locates on the pressing on the mounting plates perfectly and they just didnt seem right fitting them on the top tbh. Think your best bet, phone the suppliers....and then update this thread for us lol

 

Isn't that just the way they cut them out of the blank mould or something????

Mine feel great on the car btw - really pleased
