BG5 Leggy, Suspension Bush

[Guest]

So got a big FAIL on my wof because the front left dampner bush was worn?

Anyone know of this is actually a WOF thing or am i being shafted for another $300?

and does anyone know a part number for this?

Thanks

[Guest]

can you clarify which bush. where abouts in the front left is it?

[Guest]

the front left back bush?

(cant find the wof sheet at the mo! will have to recheck)

im guessing its the lower rear bush on the front arm? its about half an hour to remove press in new bush and refit and about 28 bux for the bush.... so 300 is a little steep champ

Yeah thats the one!

Hmmm gonna see if i can buy the bush seperatly and get some one to bang it in there

Thanks! your wisdom is much appreciated

[Guest]

Yeah +1 to that. I replaced mine with Nolathane, took about an hour to do both sides and the bushes cost at most $65 for the pair from Autolign.

i think you just need a 22mm spanner and a 17 or 19mm socket etc.... and a bar to lever arm down to slide the aluminium mount off... mark which way the mount goes as the taper inside the bush can only go one way....

i have a mint left front bottom arm off a 94 bg5. PM me if you want it.

[Guest]

so pretty easy to fit yeah?

$70+gst now

[Guest 4wdftw]

you can have it for $40 and its only a few bolts to swap over..

it is the bottom arm tho right?

like this

if its bg5 it wont have the holes but u get the idea.

[Guest]

thanks for the offer! ill let you know!

there a pretty good guy in albany (amac automotive) that my old man is mates with.

the previous owner used to run it as a subaru specialist apparenly, the new guy prefered to be broader but they all still know thier subies pretty well (he sorted out my overheating problem quick-snap)

Hes gonna quote me both + install so just waiting to hear back
