rear end bushes

Logan360 · Jan 22nd, 2014, 02:26

Hi guys. So basically my project had shot rear bearings and brakes. My parts car ones were mint (whole reason I brought it back) so I've taken it upon myself to swap the giid bits over. Now. Rather than do it the conventional way, long way I call it, of taking the brakes hubs band brake cables etc off, I just swapped the whole rear end. Now comes time to put it back IN and I was thinking uprated bushes. So.
A. Can you get uprated rear leaf bushes? (Dai?)
B. Can you get uprated rear shock mount bushes? Top and bottom to go with my adjustable pin2pin shocks
C. How would I remove a rear shock one in one piece to take to various places?

Thanks all

The rear shock is not doing any locating work, I would not have thought uprated shock bushes would make any noticable difference.

You can also get the rear shackle bushes from Dia too.

Yes rear shackle. Is that the rear torsion bar type thing?

The shackle is the two plates which hold spring to chassis. Shackle bushes are the bushes that these plates (Shackle) sandwich and sit in the chassis.

Put simpler, the bushes above the spring bushes.

Think S&M shackles. ahem
