Elephant racing bushes.?? - Big Dave - 11-19-2006

Hi Chaps.

Im contemplating changing the rear bushes on my car to the Elephant racing "polybronze" ones...[ "M" Polybronze spring plate bearing]...



Now basically im after some advice on fitting them..

Has anybody on here fitted them themselves.??

Was it an easy job.?? [ I have had the torsion bars out to re-index the car , so i know my way around the back end of my car.]....

+ Did it make much difference.??



Any pointers , good or bad will be a BIG help....

Dave,

I have just had them fitted to my car while I was away. I wasn't there when it happened but apparently it was a bit arduous. What I would suggest is if you email my mechanic directly. His name is Sean and he will probably be doing it to his own car. buchananautomotive@hotmail.com

As far as what it feels like now that it's in, well I'm not sure yet as I had it installed along with new A-arms, solid bushings, monoball etc. The car does feel better in general for turn in and holding the suspension geometry but I won't know until I'm on the track next week.

Actually I thought Fen had them fitted to his car, or was that something he intended to do?

i have them all over the car and love them - fitted them myself - was a piece of cake



the only hard part i found is removing the old rubber on the torsion tubes - the elephant stuff though went in easy everywhere
