OK thanks for the info, thought we were talking about the rear end i was getting worried. Where should i pack the copper slick in to the trailing arm bushes as mine came with a lubricant (oh er) .. do I need extra?

 

You need ads much lubrication as possible. Just cover everything in it. Mine rears never made any noise.

 

Thanks Azrael,

 

Got The Bushes removed. They took Heat and 10 Ton of pressure in a press

 

Got to get it all shotblasted and then put the new bushes in

have a look here matey

 

Dean Saff,

mate, do you have a pic of the orginal bushes? I'm not sure if mine have been replaced and I'd be interested to see if they look the same.

 

Sorry matey they went straight in the bin..
Put a pic of yours up Im sure we will be able to tell if they are the right ones or not..

 

i did my whole car with polys, even the rear spring insulators,no squeeks and it handles great,just a bit harsher ride thats all

 

Cheers for all advice lads..
What I thinks strange people deem these bushes as dangerous yet they still sell them??

I will go ahead and fit standard ones tried and tested, theres too many people that would say I told you so..not worth the risk...

 

DEAN LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON WELL LET ME KNOWN HOW YOU GET ON

 

I read in an article that some police forces using 4x4's used to have theirs replaced every 6 weeks, just to be sure.

I believe the bush that gets all the abuse and torque applied is the near side one. Had that one (only) changed on mine.

 

i read that in rallye news also a few years back, there was a pic of a white 4x4 saph, that the wales police used that had been rear ended
