Default bushes

Its a bastard if your lying under the car, a little easier if its up on the ramp, don't poly bushe the rear trail arms is advice that I've been given so I'll pass that on to you, just get trail arm bushes from Ford and poly the rest, not cheap though I bought the 4 ta bushes £217

The Ford bushes are solid and don't allow any flex like poly ones can do.The big turbo escort ones will fit a 2wd beam (they are the same as Grp N part)

the ford bushes are more expensive than poly though!
