Poly/bush kits?

[Onzlouk]

Where is the best place to get these from, do they come in a full kit, is the job possible on a cerb without major surgery and on my own?
Theres a lot of very annoying speed bumps around here and the squeaking is getting just as annoying when i go over them! At first i thought it sounded like a dry shock....but now after reading bits and bobs on here im more inclined to say its the bushes giving up as the cars used daily.
Anybody help? TIA

Just a small aside Mate, your splitter is on it's way.

Steve Heath.

Does a great deal on all the bushes and replacement bolts which more than likely you would need at least one of even if you weren't planning on replacing any of yours.

Plus, he knows what fits what and if you have any issues with wrongly sized bushes he'll help you sort the problems.

Just looked at a pdf list after i googled it, looks good!

Has anybody done a full kit themselves?
Can anybody recommend which ones to go for as priority or just go for the full kit?

I've got the kit but only installed a small amount of it so far.

Front drag links
Antiroll bar droplinks and mounts
Diff

I would say are the priority. Only as I found that is what had worn badly on mine.

Just as an aside. Take your front and rear antiroll bar off, and grease them. Good chance all the noise over bumps will end.

You could be my hero.

I fitted the full kit from Steve Heath recently - highly recomended. The only additional part I needed to buy was a 20 ton press to shift the old ones...

[ridds]

Or use a gas torch and a hacksaw.

Get the full kit.

You'll only end up going back for remainder anyhow so save on the carriage.

Just got a full front kit from Larkspeed in the post yeaterday.

They told me the kits are made to special order and 14 days wait.

That front drag link is the one to do first!

Reading on here it is responsible for a lot of problems from high speed "wobble" to disk warping!

I got the full kit from Steve Heath. Very good kit and he helped me out when a few bushes did not fit right.

[Ireland]

Oops, forgot to mention that I too got mine off Steve Heath.

[Nefarious]

Another vote for Steve Heath.

Thanks for the feedback.

Because they are a special order and can often take more than 14 days, I try and keep several sets on the shelf and essentially have a rolling order with Powerflex. It also means that if there is a problem, I don't have to rely on getting Parts from Powerflex (and another 14 day wait).

Cheers for that matey, all copper-slipped up today and now she goes over the bumps like a Rolls.
I dont have the time before i go to order and fit the bush kit but looking at them today i think ill be ordering the kit anyway when i get back from Germany, just not so urgent as i thought.
