Poly bushes

[Benny]

Could someone put the Link up for the lower polybush? My 406 rapier estate's engine jumps like buggery when I shut her off.. Was kinda hoping this would sort her out! And how easy is easy, as its something I've only done on suspension?

I wouldn't replace the bottom mount with a poly bush. It will make your life a misery due to rattles....

I too would be keen on some poly bushes.

Totally unrelated, but also found a company that makes a genuine carbon fibre front splitter for the 406 saloon aswell.

Do you have any photo or link on what it looks like?

At the moment, I have put on a front lip from a Fiat Brava

Oh, was hoping the rattles would be better than the shut-off judder :C

Cheers,

Get a genuine bush from the dealers and it will be as good as new. Make sure it's fitted the correct way.

Forgot to say, for the record - I did end up getting a genuine bush, and had it fitted correctly! What a wondrous difference! Transformed the old rattle bus back into a fully functioning car. Cheers for the info, Captain! Think without your wise words, i'd be sitting with ear wax rattling out of my ears lol

Great stuff! I get the same new car feel after replacing anti roll links!

The poly bush exercise on the Coupe side of things hasn't been without problem.
The bushes in one instance wore out after 6 months and they appear to need constant greasing if life expectancy is to be extended beyond this. They creaked like a good 'un too at first!

What about this stuff, apparently you can make your own polybushes, the main issue would be making a good mould to cast them in.
