Title: rear subframe bushes, which way
Post by: paulr on 11 May 2007, 18:40:48

Just got some new subframe bushes but which way do they fit, I am referiring to the cutouts within the bushes, do they go side to side or front to back? they are for a 2001 estate part No 90447156 http://aolpictures.aol.co.uk/galleries/ddpr206/b1c09ZYu3a2ywkTswGxQ5gYiS1MBdLrEZebrv4xQp5Fd3Ig=/large/

How much are they - I think I need exactly the same part. My rear suspension is a bit creaky and loose I think it's the subframe bushes.

slots go front to rear i think!!! however if you buy uprated bushes they can go anyway round as they dont have slots !!!

Out of interest where can you get uprated bushes for the omega? Am going to be changeing my front wishbones as well. I am going to be getting guenuine vauxhall ones as I do quite a bit of towing and the after market wihbone bushes dont seem to be able to take the extra stain as well as the vauxhall ones. Just a shame they arnt still on the trade club (there £175 +vat at mo)
