Howie86 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I'm doing a complete restoration on MK1 Cav, I have purchased a "complete" poly bush kit but doesn't come with the front X-member trailing arm to chassis bushes! These are available from other manufacturers but the fact that they don't come with the outer metal sleeve bothers me as its not a solid tube that it fits in to. Can anyone vouch for these sleeveless poly bushes for the front trailing arms or help where to get OEM rubber replacements, cheers. Edited July 22, 2017 by Howie86 Spelling Quote
robah Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I got my Super Pro Poly Bush kit from RetroPower, which was complete front and rear set up. Not 100% sure on the make up of the bush in question (Metal/Sleeve or not) as I fitted them 6 years ago, but when I did drive it, the car was solid. I will be replacing the bolts in the front axle trailing arms soon so it might jog my memory, as I have noticed I have fitted 8.8 grade bolts instead of the 10.9 Grade that should be fitted. Quote
Howie86 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah the complete set I bought which has the front trailing arm ones missing is Super Pro, I called them and asked where they were and said they don't do them I said well its not a "complete set" then is it!? looks like Powerflex ones. cheers.

Danny D114BCW Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I bought PolyBushes for mine and they were great and came with the sleeves. The bushes can be bought separately Quote
