That bush was truely bushed!!!
« on: 24 April 2007, 11:48 »
I finally got round to fitting my new wishbones etc at the weekend.
The state of the bushes in the old ones was truely shocking  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
No wonder my handling had been a bit w@nk for a while. It's all nice and tight again without the nasty twitch in the steering under throttle on/off conditions. Hopefully nothing to stop me participating in some 1/4mile action later in the year now.









You got any pics of your dad's split ?

Went with standard bushes topher, I'm already happy with stability of my car so it didn't seem worth sacrificing comfort to gain a bit more. I'm gonna lower it and add some eibach arbs later in the year and I'm sure it will be more than good enough for typical road use without them.
