Full bush kit
I'm looking at replacing all of the suspension bushes on my classic. Any recommendations?
Would like to replace all the bolts too |
try import car parts , they do full poly bush kits and i think a 10% discount is available ,
|
I've had a look on there mate, is this the kit your thinking of? Says none stock item
http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...y=&searchPart= Would like all new bolts too |
According to that list there is only 12 bushes in that 'full' car kit, there are way more than that
Front requires, 2x ARB 2x control arm front 2x control arm rear(alk) 4x droplink(if solid links) Roll centre kit(2x track rod ends & 2x lower ball joint) Steering rack kit(2 bushes) Rear 2x trailing arm front 2x trailing arm rear(hub) 8x lateral arm 2x ARB 4x droplinks(if solid) 2x diff bushes 2x t-bar(outrigger) Then you have the subframe bushes for diff , gearbox and gearbox shifter bushes and engine/gearbox mounts and pitch stop if you wanna go the whole hog lol |
Hi John,

The cars nearly 17 years old, i've owned it for 7. I have never replaced a bush which might sound bad but it's been ok so far. I just think it's time to change them. I'd rather replace all including the bolts now and I know it's done but would like to do it right rather than waste money, i've already done that many times over with other bits.
Advice is always much appreciated :) |
When it say 1x XXXXXXXXX. there could be 8 bushes included in that , for example one of those will be lateral arm link which includes 8 bushes ,
You will have to go to super pro website and see exactly what is included in each of those part numbers , As for bolts I'm not sure the best way to go about that , there is the option of having some bolts zinc plated , See silver Scooby sports rebuild thread to see the results of that , I'd phone import car parts they will probably help you out , I'd guess they could supply bolts as well Edited to add , the kit will be for all suspension bushes , it won't include engine mounts etc |

we do various options although its often most cost effective to start with one of the 'kits' and then spec certain extra's as required
we would tailor the "kit" depending on wether its road, track, competition use......... |
I'm looking for the full kit minus the droplink bushes and sway bar mount bushes , or if you can supply sway bars and the bushes and front drop links ,
Sway bars I'm thinking standard sizes but adjustable , car is a version 6 sti , my00 , Fast road , performance over comfort , it's not a daily driver |

If you notice you have listed 12 parts that need bushes , the 12 part numbers on import car parts may well be all of those 12
...and do they expect you to keep clicking from page to page to cross reference their piss poor sales advert :lol1: |
I'm pretty sure it will be every bush for the suspension ,

The kit consists of
Spf1390 control arm lower inner front Spf1387 control arm lower inner rear Spf2358 front gearbox crossmember isolater mount Spf1972 steering rack and pinion mount Spf1384 front drop link Spf1383-19 front arb mount Spf1463 rear control arm inside and outside Spf1384AK rear drop link Spf1978 rear crossmember supplement washer Spf1383-20 rear arb mount Spf1491 rear trailing arm from Spf1907 rear trailing arm rear Does anyone know how superpro compares to powerflex |
Hi mate I went with polybush and POWERFLEX as not one company do the full bush kit and I must so the polybush are top and you can pic your ride comfort have a look mate
|
Just a tip, the bushes may differ from manufacture in stiffness so go off the rating of them, they use the 'Shore scale' the higher the rating(number) the harder the bush ;)

i'm looking for information nd prices on group n bushes before i spend the cash
