Ok as you know i decided to have a go at changing my rear beam bushes at the weekend but in the end decided to let a garage fit them :wink: Well took the car to a local garage yesterday to get them fitted dropped my car off before 9 and about 12ish the lad at the garage rang to say that the car was ready :afro: and tbh he's done top job :smiley: left the car tidy to(more than i can say for the stealers) and i got the bushes fitted for the total of £40 :grin: well happy had a look at the old ones and he had got them out in one piece but the rubber inside was starting to break a little so glad i got them changed :wink:

Early Views after driving it for a few miles seem good seems alot better to but i found yesterday that i still had my annoying creaking noise from the rear o/s even with the new bushes :angry: i posted up on here (in Feb iirc) about this :grin: well had a word with the mechanic and to be fair he asked me if i was aware of it because he could hear it when he took it out after talking with him i immediately knew what needed doing/replacing (i did have this in mind awhile ago tbh :smug:)yes it was a faulty rear o/s shock absorber so rag 'DPM' and they had a replacement on the shelf credit for dpm for sorting the shock out :wink: so called round there this morning collected the new 'jom' shock and set to fitting it got it all fitted without any problems and took the car out for a test result NO more noise!!!!!! :smiley: :smiley: am well happy now finally sorted it!!!! and at least i have the rear bushes done as well :afro:
