Hi every one,While I have my TP apart to fit the new engine I decided to replace the ball joints,(the rubber boots are badly torn and I had a new set here anyways). The passengers side control arm was flogged out where the ball joint presses in so I grabbed a secondhand arm. Before I start putting it all back together I thought I'd replace the large rubber rear pivot bushes. My local parts guy can only get Nolathane bushes,no rubber. I'm a bit worried about them being noisy,I've heard some reports poly bushes can squeak a lot once the lube works its way out,but on the positive side they can supply offset bushes to correct castor for wheel alignment. Does anyone out there have any experiences with them? Anyone know where to get rubber? Thanks guys

Cheers,thanks for that. I put it back together with the rubber bushes until I get a wheel alignment,just in case I need offset bushes to get it right.
