Suspension bushes shopping list

Post by Middle29 »

I could do with some help with my shopping list. I have a list of stuff that needs attention and would appreciate some advice. Am I buying the right stuff and is there anything else I should swap while doing it:

List of work:
• Slight play in steering column.
• Slight play in right hand front track rod/steering rack.
• Front anti roll bar drop link lower bush washers fitted upside down.
• Front upper wishbone bushes look worn [see road test notes above about squeak from front] • Front damper upper bushes starting to crack and perish.
• Radius rod bushes worn, will require inners, outers and sleeves.
• Track control arm inner bushes worn.

Shopping list

You shouldn't need to buy the upper wishbone, just get new bushes for it. They are tack welded in place with one blob of weld.
No point replacing ball joints if they are ok and the rubbers aren't split.

Thanks - I've updated the list although some are out of stock.
Should I be looking to change anything else whilst we're in there? Just want to tighten up the ride for now - are there others bushes etc I could renew?

What about the front droplink lower bush? Can't find that..
