Hints, tips and Gotchas. Polybushes

[EggsBenedict]

I'm about to start to fit my suspension back together again with the steve heath polybush kit now installed in the wishbones. Has anyone got any hints, tips or gotchas? Be interested to know if there are any knacks or whatever...

Cheers,

Just did mine . I found if you widen the brackets just a bit it lets you start the end washers easier. And a bit of copper slip on the brackets, Hope this helps , The brackets go back to normal as you tighten them .

thanks - what did you use to widen the brackets?

I chamfered the edge of the thrust washers, and used a glue gun to hold the washers in place during installation, this kept the chamfer pointing forward and held them in place, they do have a habit of coming off and rolling away (trust me I spent over an hour looking for one) before I decided to glue them on, the glue can be picked off later.

Wow. What a swine of a job. Fought me all the way it did. Took about 4 hours just to get the near side rear on today. Thanks for the tips though guys.
