    Bushings??

    Hi guys,

    I would like to replace my bushings to stiffer poly ones, mainly the ones that are associated with the major suspension components, is there a kit available that would replace them all or should i really only change the major ones?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    major suspension components??
    do you mean bump stops, top mounts, wishbones, rear axle etc.

    ive just recently put in powerflex polybushes in the front wishbones, rear axle. front crossmember yet to be done.
    and have got standard rubber for the bumpstops and top mounts.
    and its great!!! polybushing the wishbones and rear axle is a must, it makes it so much tighter and nicer to drive, with a tad more vibration.

    i think there a kits for the whole car, or you can buy the individual bush sets. prothane, powerflex etc do the whole car so take your pick.

    Thanks for the reply, i found this set.

    eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

    The seller bought them and never fitted them. What is the difference between the set for a car with power steering and no power steering??

    thanks
