ZMANALEX Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It is at most a 1 x hour job to swop out the compression rod. (banana arm) Clark Motorsport stock the busings etc. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Its straight forward for the home mechanic too, just be careful not to snap a bolt on the bracing, use a good penetrating fluid, something like Metaflux... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's only replacing the bushing then it will need to be pressed out by a garage or someone with a big press. And you should also have an alignment done.

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Upgrade these bushes to Super Pro bushes, give better feedback under braking, never worry about the bushes again. In stock ready to go @ Abbey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
