Rear Suspension Bushes

need4speed · 29-10-2010, 05:56 PM

Greetings All,

From recent drives in the car I felt that back end was a bit loose and that tracking was off. So managed to secure ramp space at local garage to check alignment etc. and found that the rear bushes are completely shagged!

Question is it worth replacing with uprated bushes or sticking to the OEM ones? Car presently running standard CSL suspension.

Ta in advance.

Cheers,

Grant

if you mean the Rear Trailing Arm Bushes (which go every 15k miles) put in OEM but with Turner Limiting Kit and all is solved

50% of all CSLs by now are running with them i'd guess.

Yep, rear trailing arm bushes.

Thanks.

I fitted poly bushes to rear. No issues, and the ride was near like stock.

Another option for you to consider.

How would that affect geometry on the rear Andrew? Would it need to be changed as there'd be no movement, compared to stock RTAB?

That is the case with front bushes anyway.

I am not sure if the geo when done needs yp be redone otherwise geo should be the same as irbid just a stock product effectively but with limited movement to stop ripping

yes, geo needs to be redone
