Rear bushes help

Post by Ryan S »

So looking for the bushes that go in the rear control arm at the subframe.

Found these but not sure if it's m14 or m12 i need. I'm not away to pull the bolt out as i remember just about torching the car doing it on the ground!

I have the Superpro stuff in my wishlist.
What was your reasoning to go Powerflex?

I watched I think Mighty Car MODs and they said that SuperPro have progressive shore strength throughout most bushes they create and they are tuned for compliance, not just being "rock solid." I can't find the video where they said hat though lol. I've been following your build very closely. I like to ehar your reasoning.

I just came across these ones first. My inner bushes are seriously worn out so literally anything is going to be better than what's in there! I did watch the mcm build but never realised they replaced this part. I'll have another watch :)

It just so happened a friend had these very ones in his garage so the decision was made for me ha!

It might not have been the MR2, I dont quite remember. It was the comment on Superpro bushes in general.

Ah ok, I'll see how these go. I'm tempted to replace the arms anyway. TCB have decent ones for £104 for a pair.
