Bushes and Shocks

[firefox1712]

No.....I haven't been into the bushes and given myself a few shocks lately!

Somwehere on this forum I have seen reference to replacement high performance bushes and alternative shock absorbers.
I can't find the thread right now and I don't have much time to wade through the site just at the moment.

Can all you chaps and chapesses help me out with the bushes and shocks conundrum and where to get them?

Many thanks.
Toodlepip!

Replace suspension bushes with Polyurethane type from Tower view:0208-452-6922 and shocks either with AVO's for a cheap but reasonable fix www.avouk.com or nitrons for the best but expensive fix.

There were a couple of sites that someone posted for bushes - any ideas anyone?

Apart from RT Racing (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/shpub/Wedgecat1.html), Rally Design (www.raldes.co.uk/) list a large stock. You'll need to know sizes/donor vehicle when studying their catalogue, but they might know what's what if you 'phone them - Streaky

Hmmmm -

Well, after saying thanks - which do you guys think are best in the bushes department?

And will changing them improve all the banging and crashing I get?

Superflex for Wedges; they need the extra compliance.

Yes, but it won't eliminate it. For that you need to check every nut and bolt and properly secure every body triim panel. And the battery. A job for the summer.
