Rear Bushes

It sounds like one of those jobs that shouldn't be too bad with the right sort of tools and a decent work area.

For removal, the main tools being, a very large hammer, a very large pry bar and a gas blowtorch.

I believe that Poly Bushes are better, depending on what make you use and where you use them.

This Thread contains many references to 'PowerFlex', but as Simon has posted, they can and sometimes do fail quite rapidly.

The Main Beam Bushes from PowerFlex seem to work OK, this could be due to the fact that they are mainly 'encased' and unable to spread, thus failing, however, their Rear Trailing Arm bushes have several recorded failures that I know of in a very short time frame, the same as Simon has experinced.

I have also heard of their front Wishbone rear Eccentric/ Offset Bushes failing quite quickly.

Due to this, I have used the 'SuperFlex' Poly Bushes when they are not 'encased', such as the Rear Trailing Arms, and the Eccentric Wishbone Bushes.

These seem to work better.

Just my two cents.
