Final Suspension mods complete. Pt2.

Next we use the special bush tool to pull out the remains of the old bush. Half had already just fallen out! Using a spanner on the bottom we wound out the casing of the bushes. And this is all that was left. Next you see the bare tube of the subframe at the front so we repeated the procedure for the rear.

The replacement bushes are installed simply by hand and then lubricated with special grease before installing the center tube/spacer. The original washer is refitted on the top of the bush. Here you can see that this washer must locate on the shoulder of the tube which must be fitted shoulder end up to locate with the washer between it and the chassis locating tube.

We used pipe grips to push the tube through and locate with the washer.
