IMO poly bushes are garbage. My inner LCA bushings are horribly ovaled after maybe 10,000km. Rubber/Spherical or bust. Random toe changes suck.
well its been a week and the bushes seem okay
had a bit of a mishap with the rear shock getting caught so i had to pull it back out again
but doing so allowed me to see the flex that the hard race bushing allowed me to have
with the shock removed and unbolted from the camber arm i was able to move the entire trailing arm in a few directions and view the trailing arm bush movement and it appeared to let me move in just about any directly fairly freely which is a good sign
on another note, anyone had any luck with asking a suspension shop to press in bushings not supplied by them?
i asked a place last week and they wouldn't do it if the bushings weren't supplied by them
need my front bushes pressed out and replaced since i can't do it on my home press :(
i posted earlier my local workshop does $10 a press :)Quote:

pedders is about $25 a press. regardless of bush type or size.
I got 12 pressed out for $60 at Pedders. Took ages, got my money's worth.
must be the minimum hourly charge then. 12 is your moneys worth :)
What about spoon? I beleive spoon make the trailing arm bushes as well?Quote:

I'm wondering if there's some link with this and the suspension bind some have reported.
