Hey guys,

Need to get these replaced. Anyone had any expirence with these before? Can i do it myself? If not average price?

Cheers,

Sean

Do you know exactly which bushing it is?

To be honest, no. The mech said on the RWC control arm bushes. I just checked the manual and there is about 3 i believe =S

Going to be doing some work on the car on the weekend so hopefully have some more info then! Silly me for not asking him

theresb the upper and lower control arm i belive, i recently did the upper outer bushes on the rear, had to remove hub assembly topress out old bush. i suggest replacing with nolathane ones if your car is lowered , mine was killing the stock ones

If it's the front control arm, the rear bushing is easy - it's pretty much a 5 minute unbolt and replace job. The front bushing is a bit more involved, as it needs to be pressed out. If it's the rear suspension, then there's about 10 bushings. Pricewise, though, the press in bushes aren't so bad, ~$40 or so, but the front arm's rear bushing cost something like a hundred bucks.

robessi, I think your front suspension is different to ours. I need to get mine done too just been a bit busy lately

i was talking about rear end bush, sorry, yeah my front suspension is different.

i was talking about rear end bush, sorry, yeah my front suspension is different.

i see, re-read it and i cant see it saying front or rear...

just reopening this thread about rear bushes the rear of the magna has become very squeekie going over bumps ect have changed the rear shocks from stock (250000km) to Monro GT's now i want to know what one might be the main culprit, and can i get genuine replacements from Mitsubishi ????

The poly bushes like Nolathane etc are better for a 'sportier' suspension, but they can also make the ride a little harsher as the stock bushes to actually absorb some vibration etc. Nolathane are the hardest, the SuperPro ones are softer (but still not like the stock). Optimally you would probably mix the two bushes to minimise harshness but still maximise driving experience. You would probably want SuperPro ones for the lower control arm. Nolathane are good for the rear bush, and also the D bushes of the sway bar etc.
