Anyone any idea how much per bush and how eay these are to replace? Mine are leaking slightly on the rear ones, nearest the fuel tank. Any suggestions welcome. Also was thinking about having all the front and rear Polybushed...anyone had this done?..What difference does it make..and which ones are best?

 

Will this make for a harsher ride?

look here for costs of the bushes.

I changed mine last weekend. I was a complete bitch of a job.

The bushes came from suspension.com in the us, took about a week to get here but slighty cheaper than over here.

Someone told me that the whole job should take about about 8 and a half hours - try tripling that! :rolleyes:The whole rear subframe needs to come off, which means disconnecting the brake pipes, hicas and exhaust and having to bleed then afterwards.

If you don't have a press to get the bushes out be ready for a lot of hammering and noise, but after the first one you have the hang of it and can get each one out in about half an hour.

You should really change the diff bushes aswell if you are doing the subframe ones as it will save you alot of time at a later date.

 

Doesn't really affect the ride, i just seem to have a clonk somewhere yet to find where from.

If you need any advice on fitting them you know where i am - on here.;) Paul.

Cheers for the advice Paul. I think ill be getting a specialist to do them. I cant be arsed with all that hammering rubbish..lol

 

I hope you had a ramp to get it up high enough...otherwise I can appreciate what a bitch it must have been to do the job.

i bought mine from the http://www.zcentre.co.uk i bought the complete set of poly bushes, which are far superior to the originals, cos they dont wear out.

How much were they for the front and rears mate...I need a rough guide to price to include all front and rear bushes including the Silicone filled subframe bushes.
