Anyone know who does them? Poly if at all possible.
I\'m redoing everything and it\'s the only one i can\'t find anywhere :( Superflex and powerflex don\'t list them :(
TIA

if your on about the inner bush on the track control (the rear lower suspension arm) arm then they are available from powerflex if you are on about the 2 outer bushes on the track control arm they are pillow ball and you need original parts. the cheapest ive found for them is rx motors

SiH

Cheers for that - got all of the above sorted though - the bit I\'m after is the inboard end of the main lower arm - the one that meets the hub and trailing arm - that is, the bush where the lower arm meets the subframe at the inboard end..
Powerflex list a rear track control arm bush, but i took this to mean the front bush for the rear trailing arm?

no it is def the inner one. the ones that meet the hub and trailing arm are pillow ball bushes the only poly one available for this arm is the inner one where the arm meets the chassis. i got mine from rotaryart and got the motorsport one which is the harder one and is supposed to be better.

SiH

Ah right, cheers dude - that\'s the one included in teh kit then.
In that case - anyone know where i can get poly/uprated bushes for the trailing arm?! :D

AtomicRex

We can offer them
 
But we also have a new trailing arm with spherical bearings.  They are at the anodisers at the moment, but will be here in the next couple of days.
 
Otherwise we can supply the Powerflex ones.

SiH

I\'ve already sourced the Powerflex ones thanks, I\'m after trailing arm ones. I try to minimise on the amount of spherical bearings due to maintenance overheads.
So Poly it is :)

the trailing arm bush is in the polyflex rear suspension kit aswell. where did you get your kit from?? the normal kit is inner top arm 2no per side,trailing arm 1 per side, and inner track control arm 1 no per side rear anti roll bar bush 1 each side. the one that some places dont give you is the outer bush for the top arm.

Well, I\'m not geting huuugely confused!

I\'m looking at 2 kits: The Pwoerflex and the SuperPro.

I\'ve got most of the oens matched to what i need, however, I\'m not sure on a few items.

SuperPro lists (From the SuperPro Group buy from JM Garage):
Rear - Shock Mount - Lower Arm Bushes - I guess this means the centre bush on the top arm? I\'m a bit puzzled as it says lower arm?
Rear - Toe Control arm - I guess this means the bushes on the top toe link? The Kit doesn\'t seem to include a bush for what I know as the lower arm? the closest it has is \'Rear - Trailing Arm Front to Cross Member Bushes\' - which i take to mean the arm that runs parallel with the wheel, front to back.
I can\'t see anything in this kit for the lower arm inboard moutn though :( (The one I am describing above)


The Superflex kit lists \'REAR TRAILING ARM FRONT BUSH\', which again i take to mean the one that runs front to back, but could that be what i know as the lower arm?

I\'m proper confused :(
Any help hugely appreciated.

To have the full kit you would need to combine both Super-Pro and Powerflex.  Or you could buy the full kit that we have had produced.
 
(They are produced by a leading bush manufacturer...not Sam and I and a lathe!)
 
First person to order can have 25% off, on the condition they give us a write up.

take a look on the rotaryart website. they have the full kits that you will need inc the extra ones not in the normal kit. they also have full diagrams detailing exactly what you get.
i recently got the rear kit and fitted it and its spot on.
 
note: the ones on ebay for powerflex seem cheaper but dont have all the bushes you need
