Polybushes ?

[stevie_b]

Williams ARB is thicker than 16v and that#s why they don't fit.

I can't quite picture it exactly at the moment, without the bits next to me, but I think the connection from the ARB to the wishbone is completely different on the valver compared to the Williams? And in Northy's photo the ARB end bush looks more like I was expecting from the Williams setup than the valver one?

Might purchase some coilovers in next couple of weeks

There's a group buy kindly being organised by bill on Avos with a very good discount. Add yourself to the list here if you are interested as we are a few people short of making it happen at the moment...

i personally wouldnt bother. you would be so surprised how replacing old williams bushes for new williams bushes can make such a diff

and they wont make your car feel like its hit a large pot hole everytime you run over a stone lol

true - but this is going to be a performance oriantated car - standard bushes were a last resort.

And they are off on 0171 - NLRG wont have uprated bushes. Cams yes !!!!

i see i see, was kinda aimed at ppl considering them for everyday cars i suppose. im gonna get some new wishbones complete with bushes, ends etc and new williams anti-roll bar bushes. got no knocking yet but its on the list so might aswell do it

I fitted poly bushes to my mini subframes (both brand new), and they took all the 'slop' out of the handling. It was very accurate and very good to drive.

They never squeaked, but did increase road noise as the is expected with an almost solidly mounted subframe.

I might expect anything that rotates inside a bush to squeak however (like the ARB), so use some grease (yes I know grease isn't a lubricant it's a heat remover).

Not sure if it's possible to get self lubricating bushes?

i think the trick to stop them squeeking is to put loads of copper grease on when you fit them
