Trying to install the large main bushes into the rear beam of a 2wd saph, has anyone got any good tips? We've done it twice before with a fence post between the beam and a roof joist and a trolley jack underneath but it wont seem to work this time. The other times we have used poly bushes and this time its a pair of original rubber mounts adn we got the 2 ton trolley jack on its limit! Any help would be good

Thanks

 

Probably already tried it but would using a bit of fairly liquid on the bushes help?

I wouldn't mind doing mine sometime but they sound a mare to do.

tried fairly liquid, grease and spit!!! alot of people have put them in with the weight of the car but my dad has a whole new beam hes built up ready to swap with the one on his car so we want it all done before we take the old one off

 

Ive only done them using a 30 ton press and they went in no bother.

 

Copper grease the bush and threaded bar with plate on 1 side and big washer on the otherside bolt it together to pull the bush into the beam and when it's tight hit bar with a hammer.

 

I juat use the alloy ones, which come in two halfs! And transform the handling.

 

hes going backwards from poly to rubber!! i dont think he'll go for alloy ones! will have a go with the threaded bar!

 

I've heard about the washer trick before, although the ally ones sound nice and easy!!? Do the ally ones affect ride quality too much???

 

I didnt find them any worse than the poly ones i took out, nowhere near as bad as i thought they would be,

the handling was totally different though, so planted.
