Paul Whiffin Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If you get stuck, by far my best selling fix for this issue is the Superpro rear upper arm bushes, about £105 for both sides. In stock if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slicknick Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hacksaw ok ? Did mine in the driveway, hardest part was removing the bushes, used a whole cutter to remove the rubber inner then a hacksaw to remove the steal collar inside. As stated fitting the poly bushes is press fit by hand p.s. mine were completely shot but never knocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hacksaw ok ? Pressing them out would be the best bet but you need a socket the exact size so as not to damage the arm (think its between 33 and 34mm), hacksawing them out is another route but remember that you are cutting the steel from Aluminium and you will have to be very careful, I was stuck for time so took them to a friend/garage and let him cut them out .

Suprakeith Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Mine is knocking when go over bumps and pot holes, plus when turn right it sounds like something rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Have had car up on ramp and found that not only is the top bush badly damaged also the balljoint has alot of play compared to other side so will need the full upper rear arm kit from toyota to sort problem so thats a nice £450 out of na-t savings But at least car will be sorted and hopefully the overtime will continue at work so can build na-t fund back up asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is no good if the car handles like poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
