Hi peeps. Some of my bushes are knackered on my p1. Was thinking of replacing the whole lot. Ive had a look at this kit. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181205870255

Does this cover the whole lot? As in every single bush underneath?

Any help is appreciated

 

Anyone?

 

It covers all the suspension ones however you also have rubber items on the follow that are not included in the kit:

Drop links
Arb mounts
steering rack mounts
gearbox mounts
pitch mount
gear linkage bush
diff mounting bushes
rear Subframe bushes
Diff craddle bushes

Also most of the OE bushes are a pain to get out and some require some serious abuse. I.e. burnt out with a welding torch (front wishbone bush was the worst).

It's a lot of money when you add it all up. Then if you replace the rusty bolts that go through them Subaru rape you for each and every one.

 

Cheers for reply. Is there any place that sells oem bushes? Will be mainly road car so was thinking if its best to use oem and if it would be cheaper

 

Had a chat with RCM about supplying standard bushes for my own car, apparently at least a grand for OEM bushes all round,they cost a fortune mate. At least 50% drearer than aftermarket sets😣

 

I know mate already enquired. It's a bit silly considering it's a weaker material

 

Plus the OE bushes are far far harder to fit and some require a press to get in. Poly bushes all the way .

 

Indeed.
Do them one or two at a time.
I would start with the steering rack bushings, as they almost always are toast on older cars and do make the steering feel vague.

 

Ive already started on mine. Got whiteline sterring rack bushes. Will eventually polybush the whole lot

 

I`m looking into doing mine at the moment, Mine is a newage but very much the same, You`ve got,

Front & Rear Anti Roll Bar bushes
Front & Rear Droplinks(Depending on the link used)
Front Wishbone-Front and rear bush
Trailing Arm-Front & Rear bush
Lateral Arms x8 bushes
Diff bushes-set of 2
Rear subframe x4
T Bar subframe x2
