4th gen lude bushes not looking good

Post by jakeebbon » Wed Jul 22, 2015 5:44 pm

Hi all, MOT coming up on the 30th so decided to do some pre flight checks on the 4th gen. Left it a bit too late been busy, anyway took a look under neath and it looks like most of the bushes are really badly worn or split would it be best to polybush all round? and where would be the best place to get them from?

tried to post pics but cant work out how

I brought the energy suspension bushing kit.
From Master Performance, kit was £144. Apart from being a bit poor in communication they turned my order round really well.

A re-bush will of course do wonders for the car if you can get it done, but for the MOT, you might be surprised what will still pass in the way of bushes.
If there's no obvious movement when they check them, they will still pass (main bushes anyway - ARB bushes on 4g's are normally the ones that get failed on sight! :lol: )
