Anyone know if theres any problems with pollybushing aftermarket wishbones. I know mine are aftermarket but not sure on the brand. Just wanted to make sure the pollybushes will fit before melting the old ones out.

Yes they will fit fine.


But its worth pressing decent rearward bushes into them first as well before fitting. There's some real shite out there.

You might want to reconsider burning the bushes out. They're not easy to set alight, and stink for ages. And as you'll still need to cut the sleeves out, you might as well do the same for the rubber part. You can do that by drilling the round the outside(a sharp bit helps), or as someone else suggested a hole saw.

A blow lamp produces the desired result if you're pyrotechnically minded

What's wrong with a jigsaw? That's how I do mine

Nothing at all, use what ever you have. Hammer and chisel, blow torch, hole saw.

Then cut the two (on oe bushes, ebay specials may only have one) outer metal rings/bands. I use a jig saw for these too but a hack saw will do equally well.

Cheers guys. Im a bit of a pyro so like playing with fire. Was going to do it tomorrow but as I got no covered space and British weather is rubbish don't think im going to get chance.
