Default What bushes for handling?

So based on this diagram and key:

http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/...%29-131/1.html

I've got the front covered.

. 2x Front Wishbone Front Bush - Diagram number 1.

. Anti Lift Kit (Includes bushes.) to cover the Front Wishbone Rear Bush. - Diagram number 2.

. Front Whiteline ARB (Includes bushes.) to cover Front Anti Roll Bar To Chassis Bush. - Diagram number 3.

. Drop link kit (Includes bushes.) to cover Front Anti Roll Bar End Link bushes. - Diagram number 4.

. No need for diagram number 13, exhaust mounts.


But on the rear there are a few bushes i don't know do what?

. Diagram number 9 and 10 are covered by a rear ARB and the drop link kit.

.
No need for diagram number 11, diff mounts.

. What are 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12?

-Rear Tie Bar Bush
-Rear Tie Bar To Hub Rear Bush
-Rear Tie Bar To Hub Front Bush
-Rear Beam Mount
-Rear Tie Bar Bush

How will these effect handling? Will geometry need to be set up when replacing these ones?

Thanks

Hi me again...

They will take out the slop in your old bushes, but being harder may transmit more noise into the bodyshell. They are all going to need doing, unless you swap the links for newer items. Whiteline also do a diff lock kit to hold said diff in place.

Expect to have to check/adjust the alignment after fitting, IMHO.

Lol it's fine by me! I just don't know what any of the tie bars are, so they are handling related though? I'm going to jack my car up and have a peak.

I've ordered a Whiteline ALK and bump steer kit and i'm going to order the front lower arm bush with a Powerflex item, so that's the front covered, just got to understand what's going on with the rear.

Get ARBs and drop links at a later date.

Thanks

Cool, just wondered why you felt you needed the bumpsteer kit as it's not really needed unless excessively lowered
