boss:
its £25 for rear controle arm to axel bushes, controle arm to chassis bushes and the panhard rod bushes. can throw in the radius arm bushes too but there used(all of 10 miles) dont know about postage.
muddyjames:
sounds cool boss. I will have a look on paddocks to see if there are any other bushes I might need. I think you mentioned the A frame ball joint I need to too?

You might find you need to do the one at the other end of these rods too. That might be more difficult, because if it not already poly you will need a press to put the new ones in at least. Useful for getting them out too.
The first time I had this problem was on a Hillrally on a fast section in Radnor forest, I was doing about 100mph and lifting slightly for a small kink in the track. Every time I lifted it got very squawly! :shocked: I learnt not to go for any confidence lifts for a bit after that - it was either hard on the gas or hard on the brakes! :shock: Normal service was resumed for day two after a quick bush change! :D
muddyjames:
fancy doing a quick bush change on mine then :lol:
What does a press look like? Would a g clamp do the same thing?
Henry Webster:
No, it'll need a 10ton press to put new ones in.
Alternatively just take the bars off and pop down to your local friendly garage and see whether they'd pop your new bushes in for you. That's what I do!
