I hope I don't have to change those anytime soon. Doesn't look like a fun job.

agreed on the worn bushings.  those things can lead to all sorts of weird handling problems

Regarding worn bushings, are you referring to how the rear axle strut (23) is sinking to the bottom of the cross tube (#1 in PET illustration 501-00) ?

I have a new set of rubber bushings (part #2 in diagram) to install at some point. Does this rubber bushing fix that problem?

Thanks,

Flash is absolutely right those Spring plate bushes are moulded on to the plates, the only way to get them off is to melt them off.


If your going to do it then have the plates re-plated they look so much better.


Or there is a guy on eBay WPO-shop that has them already remoulded with the same shore hardness rubber and all nice and shiny plated including new bolts and adjusters for $400 a pair, considering Porsche are asking $700 each for new ones, sounds like a bargain
