Thread: D2 Suspension Bushes

Also, it appears that SuperPro do a 2° and 3° castor correction bush.

Any thoughts on what would be better for a 50mm lift (65mm unloaded)?

I know that it has been mentioned that castor correction is not required for the smaller lifts, however mine needs it, especially now with the wider tyres as the steering is just too light.

It would be great to get some info on this. I too am looking to freshen up the bushes ams also I feel the stearing is a but light with the 50mm lift. Any help appreciated .

I have to do mine for the roadworthy to finally change the rego over to my name so I also would be very interested in peoples recommendations.

Also does anyone have a rough guide on pricing to replace all the suspension bushes front and rear? May as well get it done properly (yes I've got the disco bug real bad)

Cheers

From the information I have found I will be using the following;

Genuine bushes for the watts linkage (apparently you can get poly but I don't know where)

Superpro bushes everywhere else with 3degree corrected bushes for front radius arms to diff.

Will be bring my caster back to 3.5 degrees instead of 0.5 degrees.

iirc the watts link it is only the outer arms (connecting chassis) that are poly, the centre upper and lower and middle roller are rubber. i tried britpart kit but the guys that pressed the bushes tightened the bolts on the arms and i did not slacken them off before fitting, thus flogging out the upper and lower central bushes.
bought another watts link from the wrecker which is holding up.

How are you finding the superpro bushes CJT?

Anyone using the floflex ones?

That looks fairly reasonable for the price. Has anyone purchased this or another kit? For that matter has anyone replaced specific bushes and if so what bushes did you use?

I have tried to search but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information here that I can find.

Cheers

Les Richmond Automotive recommend 4* for lifts from 25mm to 75mm and 6* for lifts from 50mm to 100mm, so probably the 3* bushes would be most appropriate.

Personally I have 6* correction on my 3" lift and am happy with it. No adverse effects in the driveline.
