Rear axle beam bushes

[simufly]

Slowly working through the to do list on the car. The rear axle is going to have to come out so I intend to do the bushes at the same time.
There seems to be very limited stock available. Anyone got a steer for a supply?

Autodoc gives equivalents (but they don't always get it right)

I'll be interested to know what paint finish you go for. Powder coating or 2 part polyurethane paint hand painted seem to be 2 options.

I fitted the Powerflex bushes but they modified them for me.

I got mine from euro parts, they were the ones with a nylon outer. They look too big, but squeeze in fine.

Hi Drew. I can't find them a euro parts but I've been using AutoDoc and they have parts called Elastomer. Is this what you call nylon.

I'm not conversant with the best brands. The Febi ones are £47 each - ouch! Plus of course the bolts.

Cheers

Yes, I would have thought they are the ones. Let me know when you want me to pop over with the tool
