what 'bush' is this called?

hi, the image below shows the bushing that needs to be replaced as its perished...just looking around and just wanted to get confirmation/advice to make sure its the correct correct one.

Fensport sell it as Part 'D' if I am acorrect.

Any other cheaper place to buy other than here?

thanks for your help!

Yes its the part d

It has some very longwinded name.

With twosrus in the uk not really trading anymore, unfortunately its fensport or ebay. or buy a complete kit from twosrus.com

Hopefully someone else will know of another trader.

If you are replacing that bit, you'll do well to get a new "crush tube" from toyota at the same time (unless it comes wit hthe bushes). Mine were a bit pitted and worn from too much use once the bushes were perished. I think they were a couple of quid each.

Front strut bar to chassis bush - thats the beastie!!

I have a set of them in my shed that i am yet to fit - will be doing so over the xmas period so long as its not as cold as it is now so not for sale sorry.

At least now you have the proper name though!!

How about these ?

They will split the kit & sell you just the parts you need

£16 each, and I needed 4. Crush tubes didn't need replacing.

Argh! Argh!! ARGH!!!

Mr T's prices are painful

What difference have they made to the ride ?

at the time, i looked around and buying from mr t was cheaper as other sets were £45 for just two bushes...so it was cheaper until now. what can you do...bad timing but hopefully this will help others.

anyway, they made a big difference, absorbs badly surface roads more, less shakey steering, ride feels smoother and TIGHTER. Doesn't feel like its all going to fall apart! I originally thought it was my steering rack bushes but when checked these were fine - suprisingly!

These are the little beauties I had from Peter Gidden

Polyurethane & £15 for the set

Can't wait to get them fitted & try the car on the road

I understand that Peter has around another 20 sets of these if anyone wants some
