poly boshes in the outer track control arms will not ruin the ride at all they will improve it no end!!!

believe me I have had 2 cossies both had worn out standard stuff in and when changed the difference is amazing!!

to fit these you will either have to remove the anti roll bar and drift the old ones out and refit in place ... But i would remove the bottom arm and remove and replace the bushes in a work place ... In the end it will be easier .. While you have the arm removed ,,, you might as well replace the inner bush as well ... Hope this helps ... Mark

Forgot to mention ... You will need a press to remove the inner bush ... If you dont want the hassle of changing bushes etc ... Motor factors ..ie .. Quitton hazel do a complete arm with bushes .. For about 35 quid ...
