howdy,

Well i'm going to get some springs installed and i'd like to get my bushes replaced with the polyurethane ones. I dont want to spend alot. I mainly want the bushes replaced because when ever i go over a bump i get a loud squeek from the front and then the back... so all four corners as far as i can tell. Every person i have asked has said its the bushes.

Can someone tell me exactly what sort of bushes i need. I'l like to use a sponser and sorta need to know what ones i'm after. Its more to get rid of the noise than to increase my ride drastically. I've heard people spending 600 on bushes... well thats not what i'm after.

Cheers

This is proberly a dumb question. But where exactly are they. I jacked up one corner of the car to have a look at the suspension, but i cant really see anything rubber that resembles a bush.

Can someone point me in the right direction, if the bushes are not broken i'll grab some rubber grease from the local car store.

Well I think i can see no.1 on the front and rears, is that where the magnas one are located. It doesnt looked cracked at all, but it is hard to tell, i think they are located on the inside around the shocks inside the springs...

Am i right? or do i need to take the whole wheel off to see them?
