Hi peeps, I have a few questions about polybushing my cars.

The powerflex bush I have seen includes the front w/b bush and the arb bush. As it doesn't include the rear w/b bush, I take it that is not as weak/liable to fail as the front? When the ball joint fails i can just replace that instead of replacing the polybuhed w/b right?

I've heard talk of people using a press to get the new bush in. I've never used a press. Does the bush just pop in and stays in under tension or does it need fixing in somehow?

As I haven't used and don't have access to a press, would some Holmatro hydraulic equipment be suitable? Imagine a big set of pliers with 29 tonnes of force?

Thanks peeps.

Thanks LD, so when I get PBs it'll be obvious how they go in?

I saw the one about getting the old ones out. I'll check again.

Thanks

Don't know, I replaced mine with standard, but the old ones looked ok, so don't think I'll bother for the life of the car. Omegas rule
