craggsy 91 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well its wishbones off really to do fronts which can be a pain. rear means axle off to make it easy as I think you can do it with the axle still on. tony should tell you better Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Whats the differance from poly bushes to standard what will i notice?From the Powerflex blurb Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motor car. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. The original material they are manufactured from is a rubber compound containing natural products which deteriorate with age. It becomes softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. Therefore allowing more and more movement of suspension components and offering less and less control over the suspension geometry. This in turn causes accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference driving a three year old car compared to a showroom new one Link to post Share on other sites
