Now that the low's are in I need to replace the bushes etc. Can anyone recommend a decent deal on a nolathane or simular kit for the front end? I already have the powersteering bush's just need the rest.

For the front and rear nolthane kit you're looking at around $500 supplied from coventries (mototraders here in SA).

It's a piece of piss to install if you got the time, the backend stuff needs a press to do it.

Cheers,

David

A press would be recomended for the lower wishbone bushes. I managed to do mine without a press. but for all the effort, its much easier to take them to a machine shop and have the old ones pressed out and new ones pressed in.

If you'r feeling lucky you can use 1/2 inch threaded rod, a bigassed locknut socket, 3nuts and a washer slightly smaller than the steel bush shell. But its not easy.
