Polysport wishbone bushes

[jenk]

The Ibiza needs golf mk2 items, yeah? Anyone have them fitted?

Available form rallydesign and the prices look very tempting.

From what I've read, yes, I believe so, apart from the rear beam. Don't take my word as gospel on that though!

 

[jenk]

Its more the brand im concerned about, just want to make sure they fit the same as the powerflex ones.

The front ones (PB063/PB064) fit as i was using them in mine (the rear bush metal insert needed cutting down though as it was to long)

I was running the polysport ones to start with but after a year or so the rear bushes ended up with elongated holes and started knocking, replaced them with the polyrace ones and personally found them way to hard for the road.

Currently running oe front bushes and oe LCR rear bushes and touch wood can't fault them.

Cheers for that Roly, may steer clear then if they dont last long. The LCR bush a direct fit then?

 

[roly]

The LCR rear ones are not sure about the front ones though

 

[jenk]

Ill have to order some of those then, fronts can stay oem. Sorry for what could be a daft question but will the rears require pressing in? Or is me, a mallet and some wood sufficient?

Cheers bud

you can try with the mallet, you will be here next year doing it though!

You need to press them in square

 

[jenk]

I could be here till next year removing the wishbones.....

Cheers, saves me wasting time trying. Im sure a mate will press them for a pack of biscuits.

Found the item I need

Mad to think after all those years the same bush design was being used.

 

[roly]

As m0rk said press them in

Not sure what others are running but i'm more than happy with them and i believe Martin is as i fitted a set to his a while back

 

[jenk]

If your ibizas running good with them, then im sure my fizz pop 8v will. Ill get them ordered monday along with all the new tools I need, ball joint separator, breaker bar.......

Cheers
