SUSPENSION Your Opinion
all right so i need to get my rear suspension fixed up, more than likely doing the whole operation by my self which is no drama BUT what i want to know is, i have a lower trailing arm with a rooted front bush which is what i will be replacing.
Due to the fact that it's been broken for a while and the bush does nothing it's bolt against trailing arm eye, Should i replace the arm as these eyes are prone to warping, and also is there anything else of the control arm and bush side of things that i should be replacing so that i get my suspension back to good working order.
Keep in mind that i dont want to go overboard with the suspension and trying to keep price to a relative low without compromising suspension set-up.
Thanks for any input
This is the stuffed bush as you can see it's pretty far gone.

I think you'll find you can buy the arms new with bushes for a fraction more than the cost of the bushes alone on Ebay.....then you don't have the hassle of pressing the bushes in.

Cheers hako they look good and great price as well, do u think the rest of the running gear should be fine like upper trailing arms and such?

I'd check every rubber mount for play - pretty easy with a pry bar or long screwdriver. Except for the panhard rod on which the bushes simply push in, all are cheap to buy complete rather than just the bushes. Upper trailing/control arm will probably be gone.

Cheers hako, your'e a real good help mate, gonna save me some money that i can spend on something cool.
hey theres nothing more I can really add as Hako has been spot on with everything that has been said all I have to add is if you are going to replace one side then it may pay to replace the other side at the same time due to uneven wearing
