Saph 4x4 bushes
Hi guys this has prob been mentioned on here a million times
I'm doing a underside restoration on my saph 4x4 cos this winter & want to replace the bushes with power flex, But I'm sure I read some where that only certain ones have to be done????? It's never going to go on track it's only for sunny days!!!!! It's got avo coil overs on it front & rear strut braces.
So what I really need to know is which ones to replace & which not??
And best place to buy them??
Cheers Lee

I would replace everything on the front, inner and outer TCA bushes, arb to chassis and strut top. On the rear only the beam mounts and the arb to chassis bushes. The rear arms have spherical bearings in them, so replacing them with poly bushes is a downgrade. Though I would check the rear arm bushes, because if the are worn the car doesn't handle as it should.
A poly diff mount on the rear would also be a good upgrade to go with the rest of the poly bushes.
