Hi,

 

I think my axle bushes need changing. What are the symptoms?

 

My car is lowered on Pro-Sport coilovers. Thinking of going for superpro axle bushes over the standard bushes... What are the advantages and would it make the ride harsher?

 

Kind regards.

 

 

I had dodgy rear tyre wear, so I changed mine for Superpro and all was good. Ride is not harsh.

Symptoms are the car will feel crashy at the rear and may crab or feel like the rear end is wandering. A general none connected feel of the back end.  most folks when they replace bushes upgrade coz std ones are naff. Upgraded one last longer and can give a more together secure feel to the rear beam and a dam site easier to install.

 

here is my guide to replacing them in the techi section
