    The bushes are cracked about half way round at their front (away from the axle and towards the driveshaft) , both RH and LH. The cracks don't go right through but there appears to be other cracks on the other side of the bush ie (near the axle but towards the outside of the car.)

    I tried but couldn't get a clear picture of the bush as the axle mount covers most of it and the camera would only focus on the mount. Maybe when I remove the arms.

    the setup I used to replace the front bushes in the P38 is explained here:
    http://www.aulro.com/afvb/p38a-range...g-kits-10.html post #99 (pics included)

    Was able to install the SuperPro bushes in Glenhendry's radius arms with 12mm threaded rod and an assortment of cups from a ball joint press kit. The radius arm being held firm in a sturdy vyse.

    I managed to get hold of a new Polybush Kit 20 for not many $s, as the 2 watts linkage bushes were missing.

    I've only fitted the panhard rod bushes so far, still trying to workout if I can refit the radius arms to chassis bush without a press. The D2 is in daily use so need to get it right first time

    OK for reference of those who need bushes, I have bought a set of Superpro SPF2135K from a company called SparesPro , who seem to be cheapest at $165.20 incl postage.

    BTW Kelvo, I would replace those bushes soon as IMHO the ability of the axle to pivot will affect your donut pretty quickly, as one of the major reasons for the layout is to help the donut by keeping the axle in alignment with the donut/driveshaft.
