andybp Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just got all of the polyurethane bushes for my Z today I had a look around the forum to see what bushes I might encounter problems with but couldn't find much couldn't find anyone changing them all maybe I didn't look hard enough so I'll try to document the whole lot. The rear bushes may be a bit rushed as I have my MOT on march 5th and one of the rears is completely shot so won't pass just hope it doesn't snow as I have to work outside oh and i'm going to put off the diff mounting bushes until summer cos they look like a right pig to do so this is the complete set quality looks good the inside of the bushes have a knurled surface similar to the super pro to help retain the grease and reduce friction 2 x 281719B Front anti roll bar bush 2 x 281720B Front lower inner arm bush 2 x 281721B Front lower outer arm bush 2 x 281722B Front radius arm bush 4 x 281723B Front upper arm bush 2 x 281724B Rear trailing arm front bush 2 x 281725B Rear trailing arm rear bush 2 x 281726A Rear lower link inner bush SPORT 2 x 281727B Rear lower link outer bush 2 x 281728A Rear lower arm inner bush SPORT 4 x 281729B Rear suspension bus 4 x 281730B Rear upper arm bush 2 x 281731B Rear anti roll bar bush 2 x 281732B Rear beam front bush 2 x 281733B Rear beam rear bush 2 x 281734B Rear diff mount - front bush 1 x 281735B Rear diff mount - rear bush also includes silicone grease I won't get started on this for a couple of weeks as I have other stuff to do so don't expect any updates till then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket_Rabbit Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm sure it's mentioned in the 81 pager, but when fitting polybushes, you ideally need to ream them so that they fit the collars with as close to zero friction as possible. Then, once fitted, you need to make sure the lugs aren't clamping them. All of this amounts to sticktion which you don't get with metallastic bushes. The worst thing about stciktion is when you go and get your car geo'ed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
