Wink looking into bushes!

Hi,

I need to replace the 'compliance bush' from the lower arms of the front suspension on my 2wd 89 sapphire.

It may be a good idea to upgrade to poly bushes at the same time. Whats the best set to get? and from where ?


Also, when I am on full lock, turning the wheels jump a little because I think the suspension is lowered and the camber is out. Can I ill two bird with one stone and replace the bushes and somehow adjust this camber issue ?


I would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Paul

The camber is set by the distance between the wheel and the body, fixed at the top but determined by the length of the track control arm at the bottom, you can get in situ adjustable arms, but a bit pricey.
As to the poly bushes there are many makes, I have used superflex/powewrflex/deflex/flowflex(was deflex) and super pro who make these for superflex.
I have found no difference other than price, and have been using them years, normally get superflex from chris witter.
