Hi there,

Has anyone here experience with the PU bushings from Superpro ? They (and i) have them for the BA 2.0 but im struggeling to get them in/on the front wishbone(s).
The original rubber at one side isn't even a conventional rubber with a steel insert but the rubber is filled with oil or something....

I was pushing the rubber out in a DIY style but all a sudden it squirted oil out on the walls and in my face

For the records, its the part 34-46X and Y on this picture:

Is someone formiliar with this ?

I don't think anyone has fitted them to a v6 yet

i know a man who done this once, he was never really the same afterwards...........

I used a small handheld hydraulic press, brute force, and a small fire to get those f*** out! And yes, they are full of black shit!!!

MMMEEEEEEEEEEE Scott Cept I didn't fit em!! lol

The front wishbone one's are a b*****d to fit by all accounts! Due to the fact the engines coming out of mine, I was told it'd be easier to fit them then. Not much help that though

Tonight i will have another go on it... maybe im able to get one side done. Ordering a new standard rubber is out of the question

Well, there in !!!

If you don't have the hydraulic press it soo "aaarrghh"
Burnt down the rubbers (first bled the filled up one) then a saw to get the inner sleeve out like this at 0:44

and followed by a lot of swearing : the new PU bushes did came in

Picces are still on the camera

Did the car feel any better Barreljan with the new poly bushes? Thinking to overhaul the entire suspension. . . .Also what degree of front camber & toe do you run?

I noticed some improved acurate steering, but that could aslo be of the new lower balljoints on the wishbones...

Most interesting is the comfort part, i do notice a lot more dents and other bad parts in the road.

Camber and toe settings... I dont have the exact readings but i know its slightly toe out in the front. Rear is stil zero.

Camber, its on the right side (passenger side) about -2 degrees, left a bit more negative, around -2,5 degrees. Why the left has more negative camber is because of the Zandvoort Circuit, it has most of its corners to the right.
The camber in the rear is also around -2 degrees. More can be achieved but not needed.
