Front suspension bush availability?

[morgan105]

Just wondered what rubber bushes are still easily available in the UK for the front end as I have a feeling I need to replace some of them. Mainly looking at the anti roll bar rear bushes, stabiliser link bar bushes (straight type that goes on ring fitting of anti roll bar) and radius arm bushes. May also think about doing the wishbone bushes while i'm at it but does depend on what is available and what needs changing.

I know poly bushes are better but just trying to keep costs down a bit, but if I do have to get poly does anyone know the cheapest place for them. I know Dai makes some poly bushes, not sure which ones, but are all these items available in rubber or will I have to get poly and any idea on price?

Many thanks,
Morg...

When I last tried to order rubber bushes from the dealer they were nla. Look like poly is the only answer or wast money on cheap reproduction rubber ones.

Hi guys, can anyone of you help me with a information? I need the code, producer or some kind of code for front bushes (the ones that are passing thru the suspension arm, rubber +metal on the interior). 360 GLT, b200 engine if matters. Thank you

Hello, do you mean these... ?



If so, then Dai is the man to contact, as above.
