Is rose jointing your car worth the outlay? Does it improve the handling significantly over say original bushes or even poly bushes?

Can you reose join an XR2? If so has anybody done it on here?

Thanks,

Nick.

hi you cant just rose joint your car without making up bottom arms tie rods etc. it will inprove handling but also stresses on body as theres no play at all and unless it a pure track car not worth it

Ah thanks! I just thought you could replace the bushes. Didn't realise you had to change the wishbones etc...

Thanks,

Loads of vibration with these, not worth the hassle imo, and considerable outlay for new arms etc, just poly all over, that makes a massive difference.
