Are these any good?! Need new bushes for when I replace mine and wondered what the alloy beam mount bushes are like on a road car, I've got Coilovers too!!!

Cheers

 

if I could also ask something on the same note if I may, do these bushes need pressing in, or are they fairly easy to change? Want to Poly mine.

I would imagine the alloy ones may transmit a bit more road noise?

Martin

 

Dunno why I put bushes in the title I meant beam mounts lol, yea I was wondering same thing bout road noise etc.
I've got all the other bushes just not the beam mounts so thought I'd get opinions on the alloy ones!!!

 

Did you have to press them in?

Martin

 

No the alloy ones don't need to be pressed in, can't comment on road noise as car not on the road yet put an uprated diff mount on as well only £120 from msd.

 

What about standard rubber/poly?

Martin

 

Standard ford ones need pressing in, poly ones are in two halves so just slot together!

 

Fit alloy beam mounts, retain standard Ford bushes in trailing arms and fit a good condition standard diff mount.

Do not poly bush the trailing arms.

 

totally agree the poly bushes for rear arms & beam mounts are total crap.

 

How come mate?! I was gonna take out the standard ones from the arms before powder coating and replace with poly!!!

You not rate the poly diff mounts either?!

Also wheres best to get the alloy beam mounts?! Just realised the ones on eBay are arm bushes not beam mounts!!

 

they are good but very very noisy!

 

The standard ford trailing arm bushes are rose jointed. So I'd you fit poly bushes you're going backwards really.

Motor sport developments do the solid beam mounts

 

I've got a pair of solid beam mounts for sale, brand new and unused as never got round to fitting them !

 

Pm me a price then please mate!! Ok good advice I'll stick with the standard bushes cheers ronnie, what you think bout the poly diff mounts?!

 

Definately do the diff mount! Completely changes the car!

 

Cool cheers will get one ordered, the solid beam mounts a good idea thou yea?!!

 

I recall an old thread about solid beam mounts and people who had them were saying they weren't as bad as you,d think for noise etc cant comment myself though as only tried pollys with a diff mount which gave the feeling of much better power to the road and togetherness .
