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 :roll:

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

Is someone formiliar with this ?

MMMEEEEEEEEEEE Scott :D 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 :?

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.
