Mornin all

great site for a great car, but i was wonderin if anyone has thought of poly bushes for the omega. As i spend most of the day driving over speed humps it knocks out the lower bushes & wrecks the tyres. Be gentle with me its my first post


Thanks everyone

Welcome to the site Smiley

You may be better posting your bush question in the Omega Help section for better coverage.

I think different bushes have been considered by some, though it appears incorrect fitment (torquing the bolt with car jacked up) is the main cause of premature failure...
