Dnk Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not sure what all the stock arms on the rear come to but guess it's pretty similar to that if the kit is for both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_Supra_Guy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm planning on (almost) fully polybushing mines when I rebuild in a few weeks time. I notice you're near me Cipriani, can always see how mines handles in the flesh once she's done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I haven't time right now to explain why Toyota used spherical bearings in the rear top arms and a rod end on the rear toe control arms. They did it reluctantly, but for a perfectly valid and demonstrable reason. Changing to poly bushes in the top arms is a detrimental, regressive step. I will explain it later though if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I re bushed mine last year with R2R bushes from MVP all round. Before I did it I read up loads about poly bushes and the different companies including CWs thoughts about the sphericals. The job was a bit of a pig (I can imagine impossible if you don't have a press) but once done and new shocks and springs fitted it transformed the car. A full geo set up is required after all the work but in the first 12 months I have had no issues at all not even a squeak. MVP did say they have had no issues with the r2r bushes over the years although they would say that if they are selling the kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can order forklift parts online from a company in Belgium up to 4.00pm (local time) and I'll have them here, in the middle of the bog, by 10.00am the following morning. Now that's a service!
