4th gen poly bushes I need need need

Post by Ludebob95 » Tue Oct 27, 2015 9:06 pm

Does anyone know where I can aquire a full set of bushes for my 2ws bb4. I went for the last drive of the year in my bb4 at the weekend and just as I got on the M1 I developed a wobble on the steering which stopped after I pulled over to investigate. She also pulled to the left when breaking so i got her on the ramp at home and couldn't see anything broken but the bushes are rather nasty looking so I suspect it's something to do with them. Any help would be much appreciated ;)

Hardrace (US) do after market rubber bushes IIRC, or energy suspension do polybushes.

You can get energy suspension stuff from various uk dealers. Funkypower are one

Or you can of course go into your local Honda dealer and assume the position... ;)

Awesome guys. I shall have to order some and hope it's the cause of my problem. Once I get her on the 2post ramp I'll find out if anything else is wrong. Plenty of wire brush action will be needed on the control arms. God I hate rust :x :oops: :cry:

If you go with Energy Suspension get the black graphite impregnated kit, it squeaks less.
