[sprinters_r_mad]

g'day guys............

is it possible to get all new bushes in one 'package' from anywhere???

on closer inspection im gonna need new bushes in quite a few places when putting my stuff in my car. e.g. front swaybar mounts, LCA and steering arm 'joint' and plenty of diff bushes need replacing aswell as i have a new one waiting to go in

cheers guys http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif

i got all mine thru AJPS, "super pro" from memory? also r u upgrading to stiffer suspension or just using stock suspension components? as it may differ in what u need to buy?

[Bustin_86]

Talk to AJPS, he sells all available bushes, im sure he can collect them all up into a "kit" for you.

try 7-11.
you can get some tasty cupcakes as well.

or use your brain and try an auto shop, suspension dealer, online dealer etc.

pft.....cupcakes

slurpies is where its at...

yeah you can get them heaps of places ajps/option 1/ebay pretty much anywhere you can buy a strut brace http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tup.gif

[johnny_08]

not everyone does 86 ones mate, i went to a performance shop, reccomended by toyota and they said go to some place in penrith for 86 bushes

[driftke70]

genkin it takes just as long to give people a proper answer as it does to be a dickhead,

most suspension specialists stock them, and if they dont, they can easily get them in,

but reading ajps prices, them seem quite competitive and there is little reason not to use ajps.

[Hen is a total nutcase]

Bursons and Repco. Usually have them in stock, or if not 1 day turnaround. No need for a "performance" shop

if you have part numbers, super cheap auto can get super pro bushes for you

[Julz01]

we have the listings for super pro bushes in any store, just make sure you tell the person what car it is and double check that they got the right one.

[tipper86]

You can get a full kit (front and rear) for $195 delivered to your door, front and rear prothane brand great bushes and have used them in previous cars. You save alot of money buying the complete kit, rather than buying them from other re-sellers, as you get them direct from the manufacturer.

They take about 8 days to arrive

[Julz01]

thats pretty cheap , Im going to see what I can get the super pro ones from work for, but I still think that thoughs will be cheaper

[RobertoX]

i have full sets of super pro in stock

all the prices are at least 10% off rrp

and i can push them into change over arms and links here before they are sent

so they are a bolt in affair

cheers

They sure are a bargain, I doubt you could get bushes any cheaper from anyone else. Its just a matter of pressing them in, and should be easy as pie. Most suspension mobs would charge you abotu 20-30 bux to press in new bushes, easy..

[johnny_08]

hey guys went down to pedders today and this is what they quoted me to put new bushes in throughout the car, all up bushes were 200 and somehtin,labour i think i saw it was 400 and somethin and a wheel alignment 45bux, so i think it all came up to 775 all up , is this a rip or about the norm?

[DR1FT]

i think it would be worth doing it yourself and saving $400 if u can.

but then again if you got no idea how and nobody u know can help then its probably best left to the pro's

400 to install new bushes? how do they do it soo cheap lol, anyone with a hydralic press could do them for you.

[johnny_08]

yea but how many pple have a hydrolic press, doesnt matter im biting the bullet and gettin it done tomorow, i'll let u guys know how it feels

[parrot]

Only the trailing arm, control arm and one end of the panhard rod need pressing out. The only one that needs pressing in is the control arm bush, so don't get ripped paying for bushes to be pressed into trailing arms and so on.

Pedders Hawthorn quoted me $120 to press those above, so bit of a rip there.

Mind you, got my bushes from Noltec at Toymods pricing so it all evens out I suppose.

[johnny_08]

yea, but it all comes down to know how i guess, its prob not that hard but it would take me twice as long to do all of the replacing and im not so confident cause anything i seem to touch in my car makes another problem, so id rather have them do it and have a warranty http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Seriously, other than the lower control arm bush, the others will just slide in with a firm push. Dont lubricate the outside of the bush, however they are pretty slippery anyway and you can push them in yourself easily with your fingers.
