My coily needs a new bushing on the rear pass. side radius arm.

anyone know where i can buy them?
Is it as straight forward as it looks to change them?

thanks

Yeah i just had a think about it and I doubt my terminology is right.
The thing I am talking about is the only thing holding the axles onto the car other than the coils and shocks... Is that a radius arm?

thanks

yes mate radius arms!

i will proberbly get shot down here but i can say one thing

GO POLLY IN THE REAR

the car will drive 100X better!

bursons can get them.. from memory about $150.. u will need to press the old ones out and new ones in! if u use polly u can push them in with a vice very easly! if u need to know anything elce send me a pm mate!

yeah thats them...these things..http://www.snakeracing.com.au/zookdropa ... ...(except these are aftermarket...

There is a ebay mob that do them http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Full-F-Rr-Spring ... 5191d48fc7

that one is for a lifted sj80 but they do standard too...you could also just replace with std rubber ones from suzuki(not sure of prices though.)

I need to do mine soon too,I am prob going to just do these ebay ones...

PS not hard to do...just do one at a time to keep the diff in place...

mate $150 isnt very much! and it will make it drive spot on! thats for all the bushings in the arms

wow. expensive little bits of rubber!

Guess i will look into getting a poly set. Or maybe just flog the ones on there for a while more....yeah, that sounds like a good idea!

Thanks for the help guys

as far as i know that includes the arms. i don't think they sell the bushes seperately, atleast not when i have enquired about them.

rubber 'bonded' bushes are better....if you can get them.
