bad nocking from rear v.sure its rear bushes so gonna buy all new uprated jobbies wanna know if i can fit em my self or worth taking to garage? so far fitted new clutch line, oil pressure sencor, radiator and ast so done ok with my rx but wanna know if bushes will be too trickey?
I believe the hardest part is the pressing out of old bushes and the pressing in of the new ones.
Take a look at
this related thread for the manual pages that detail the rear bushes.
I have heard of people doing this without the aid of a machine and using techniques like freezing the bushes to make them a bit smaller etc.
Then of course, once all back together, you\'d probably need to get the geometry laser aligned again.
thanks mate
Yep depends on what you are swapping out, some of the rear bushes need over 6 tonne of force to press out. Alot of the small stuff about 2 tonnes. You can do it with threaded bar and an air ratchet to remove and then a socket to repress in.
I broke a no.4 vice (150mm jaw) trying to do it with a vice. Ended up using the press at work (10 tonnes)

well will be takeing it to garage to get that done definatly then am gutted am gonna have to have the alighnment all done again
Best to take the arms off yourself and run it all down to someone with a press. I can imagine someone trying to use their body weight to pop them out... that\'d make a good You tube vid!
