Mostie:
Just found a good article about bushes:

Ok im convinced, polys it is!

davidlandy:
I have blues on mine - i wanted my vehicle to be supple, like a gymnast, like its owner!!  :wink:

wise words from Tim about replacing knackered old bushes and inevitably a new set of bushes would feel better wether they were standard rubber or poly - a good view.

Mostie:
ooooh mumma!

£153.90 later Im fully tooled up with purple BM poly bushes, wheel bearings and an assortment of ball joints for the steering box, and track rod.

Will let you all know how it goes from a novices point of view on monday!

Thats got it bob!

Man, what a ball ache! Turned out the more bits i took off, the more bits i found were be poly-bushed already!  :oops: A gross misdiagnosis by my garage guy i feel.

All the slack in the stearing and wobbling wheels was due to the 4 ball joints on the track rods and drop arm. On the positive side, though- she feels like shes fresh off the forecourt now! ...ok, not quite but its tightened up the ride no end.  :D Ended up buying a new track rod as well as the old one turned out to be S shaped under its reinforcing box section.

Wheel bearings this weekend, whooo!

Cheers for you comments boys.
