Rear trailing arm bush

Featured Replies

About to press bushes into these arms. Might be a stupid question but which way out would i press these. Looking at the pic top down or from underneath 

 

Before you all jump on me with buy the arm complete. I have a mate with a garage who lets me use it, so i have access to all tools and press. 

 

Was really hard to find a set of decent lemforder bushes otherwise everywhere selling crap ones already pressed in.

The new ones might give you a hint on how the old ones come out?

Nope just a round bush tapered both sides

Is it a plastic housing, or metal?

If it's a straight bush with no lips or  anything, then you could press it from either side I think. Pick the side that's less likely to damage the arm when you're securing it in the press.

You could of fitted Powerflex bushes and never worried about them again and they are a doddle to fit

How much did  you pay for the lemforder bushes

Hi

I did look into that option but I installed a subframe mount insert some time ago and I hated it. It was a red one so the softest one but it was so harsh. Looked at psb option as well. 

Everything I read online suggested stick with rubber. 

I paid 11 quid each
