just recently my rear suspension has got really really creaky!! ive got eibach springs all round, just wondering will i need to replace the whole rear suspension setup or is there some kind of fix for the problem?
cheers in advance!! :god
ste
It\'ll be the pillowball rear bushings - there are 6 mains ones at about £50 each in the uk , plus another two smaller ones in the toe links at a similar price:( plus new seals and circlips.
ahhh balls :( sorry to be a right pain in the arse but any ideas where i can get some idea of what they look like please?? and where on the rear suspension are they located?? thanks for the reply :)
You can get them from Malloy Mazda in the states, but at the moment thanks to the rubbish exchange rate, the best bet is RHDJapan - IIRC it\'s about £160 for the 6 main ones.
The two small one are one end of the toe links. I think the 6 laqrger ones are:
Hub end of the tension rod
Upper arm outer joint
and i can\'t remember the other one - possibly outer joint on the lower arm. Then the same on the other side :)
thats amazing thanks mate :god:god:god:god:god:god
also...my uncles told me he has some from a 40k auto rex, would it be worth having these for a short term fix? and if so what kind offer should i make him?
thanks
Mine\'s on about 48k, and at least 3 of them are fcuked :(
I\'ll try to upload the diagram of the parts later on :)
Any luck on this? I am also suffering from creaky suspension when coming from/to a standstill.
Also notice the drive side rear knocks pretty loudly when going over pot holes or speed calming devices (of any variety, it just doesn\'t like them :))
Are these items something that you would replace/get included with a polybush kit?
:o sorry - i\'ll try to uplaod them later - trackday prep took over!
eNope, unfortuantely these aren\'t fixed with a polybush kit - you need the poly kit and a set of pillowballs.
Yep pillowballs, I had the same trouble changed the pillowballs (3 each side) and toelink bushes and she feels like a new car now :)
ive also got creaky rear suspension! i was just going to buy coilovers coz the suspension does feel really shot and crap.... but im guessing i need more to cure it now!
seeing as their quite pricey and theres bound to be a few more of us who need them yet...is there nowhere we could get a group buy from?
That would seem like a good idea...
Seconded...No wait thirded.
Only need a couple more people for a group buy?
Also SiH whereabout in Warwickshire you? I\'m at uni in Cov for the next two years, have been looking to meet up with some rotary guys around that area, didn\'t really know if there was much of a scene?
I might be interested in a group buy , need to fix this to sell my car, or at least sell it with the parts.
BUMP BUMP..
So who\'s interested in a group buy, and where can we get \'em?
im deffo interested, havent a clue where we can get em :D lol
