i too had the vibration , just had the bushes done (90K) , the local non dealer did them $400.00 all up $80.00 per bush balance labour and a couple of new bolts .
Nearly went the poly version but cousin that runs a Tyre power store said they would squeak too much and unless you did the rest of the car you would be disappointed .
huge difference :D:D
wheel alignment today now it really is a great car , just took a new Jeep owner
out in the bush and showed him why he has bought the wrong car !!!!
Graeme, I chewed genuine LCA at high 80's and then again by 130 ... so I now have non genuine ones in because they were a lot cheaper and I'll just change them more often. The non genuine ones I got (forgot which) have a stiffer bush feel than the genuine bushes ... might not be your cup of tea !
Mine's LCA bushes were replaced at 75K due to knocking in reverse but I haven't checked them since and don't really want to look in case they need doing again.
Great, thanks I think I will go the non dealer bushes plus a wheel alignment option and see how I goQuote:
