Rear subframe/bottom arm bushes

Post by James1984 » Thu Sep 27, 2018 11:23 pm

I have found the bushes on the rear lower arms are cracked so im going to replace them, while im at it i am going to rwplace the upper control arb and rear track arms as its not a massive cost, which got me thinking about the subframe, rwplacement bushes for the subframe are either standard rubber or solid mounts, its the first car i have had where the subframes are attached via rubber bushes would it be a bad idea to fit the solid mounts?

They only show the rear anti roll bar bushes and front diff mount on their website, the reat kit i can get elsewhere for £450 but i think thats a bit steep i think theres 16 bushes, 18 if you include the anti roll bar bushes
