Bushes

[mcosh]

Discovered one of my rattles today and I appear to have lost a bush on the lower rear nearside wishbone. Really surprised as it appears to have fallen away completely. Had the outriggers replaced last year and all bushes seemed ok then.

Does anyone know best place to source replacements? I want to stick to rubber if I can rather than the new harder ride materials.
Appreciate any advice.

Have you tried Racing Green?

If anyone has information on Polybushes or the like I'd be interested to know what part number they are and where you got them.
I have yet another ruddy clunk from the back end and as the bushes are the only bit I didn't do 18months ago when I did the diff I'm going to strip the rear wishbones out and replace the bushes before I start trying to get the diff out again.

I'm going to call them in am. Don't want poly bushes if I can get the original rubber ones. Gives car a smooth ride and less rattles. Think I'm going to have to do same.

Are you getting the car dampeners and ride high set up after you have changed the bushes as it makes a massive difference to ride quality. I believe Matt smith at Downham Market is very popular with phers. I have not used him myself but alot of p'hers have used him after they have rebuilt their wishbones and suspension parts Abit of a drive to get there but well worth it to get a well set up tiv .

Thanks for the recommendation. Will try to reassemble to the present positioning. I used Neil Garner last time. They used bits if string to do the alignment ..... It was the best the car had handled! Just proved to old methods are still good.
