Why do the 4x4 saff cossie rear suspension arm bushes have the bearing type in and standard sierra arms dont.I was thinking about poly bushing the arms but ive heard of a few people saying not to fit the poly bushes.Why?

 

Poly bushes no.

Ggr bushes yes

 

As Andy says.

 

I had the bearing type bushes in my 24v, but when they were worn I replaced them with poly bushes. After that the tyres were wearing unevenly because the rear toe was changing under acceleration/braking. It also made the car feel weird to drive. In the end I replaced the poly bushes with the bearing type again. Drives much better now!

 

Right thanks people.

Fook paying 90 quid for one bearing though lol.

 

I know. That's why I got replacement arms that had bearing in them that were still OK. Had to replace only one of them in the end.

 

90 x 4 = 360 over half way for a 6 degree beam

 

Better off with a 6 degree beam anyway

 

I thought a 6 degree beam was about 1k? So how can 360 be over half way?

 

they run around the £600 second hand

 

I need to replace mine too. Wish i'd looked into the cost before i'd started though because with this and having paid out for my beam powder coated i would've been well on the way to a new 6 degree beam instead.

 

Fitting new Ggr ones transformed the drive of my saff. Even fitting a rear beam requires 2 of these bushes so that's still £180

 

I think i will just buy some arms if i need them.

 

that was my logic, so i opted for a 6 degree jobbie and it was on my list of bits that i wanted to do
