Rear beam refurb
I am in the middle of removing my rear beam and have the following questions. I have the uprated diff mount to go on already. Car is only stage 1, just used on nice days with family etc so don’t want to add to much road noise. All bushes will be from Powerflex
1. What rear beam bush would you use yellow or black.
2. What arb bushes would you use yellow or black.
3. How much movement should I have in the trailing arm spherical bushes as I have up and down movement but no sideways movement. I know these should only be changed for the same from GGR etc
4. Rear hub nut would it be easier to undo while beam is still on the car or can they be spun off with a windy gun when the beam is on the floor, also do you have to replace these if so where from.
Cheers

If it is just a road car I would use yellow bushes for the beam mounts. The arb you could probably use the black ones as well, as there are rubbers bushes in the droplinks already.
I don't think there should be any play in the spherical bearings. If you have front to back movement it will give changes in rear toe.
I think the big hub nut is best removed when still on the car. It is very tight and it's easier to put some force on while it is still on the car.
