Taking into account poly bushes are a bit of a no no, and ggr want £80 per bush for the rear trailing arms (x4 = £320 just for bushes )

Has anyone looked into bushes off another car that would fit at all?! Surely there must be one that's suitable used elsewhere?!


Wanna get my spare rear beam etc blasted and coated but don't like the idea of paying the best part of £320 just for 4 bushes

 

I'm in the same position too . Don't want to fit poly bushes as I want to keep the car standard, but £320 from GGR, ouch!!!!

 

they were 200 + vat from ford in the 80's
goodies are £266.66 + vat now

 

I was looking at these the other day wondering if they'd fit Cossie Arms and at £21.50 for 4 abit of a bargain.

£320 towards a new 6 degree beam ....

 

Ade50 it's more polys make the handling worse than standard bushes that I don't wanna use them!!

Ade that's exactly what I was thinking part way to a 6deg rear beam.......

But surely out of the thousands of bushes out there would be some the same as cossie ones?!

 

Oh and rich the cossie inner and outer bushes are different sizes so those vauxhall ones wouldn't fit unfortunatley

 

Also just out of interest what kinda temps can bearing take?! Might just leave the ones in there for now but obviously don't wanna ruin them when I get the beam/arms powder coated. If its safer will just paint the arms!!

 

I need these too!

Didn't realise they were that expensive.
I like the idea behind those vauxhall bushes,I'm sure there's an equivalent out there.

 

If you find a bush the right width / bore but the out diameter is small then you can sleeve the arms to fit the bushes and it should still cost less than £320

 

I've ordered the billet one's off GGR, not the crappy Poly's. Pay for what you get I'm afraid boys
