VX Front end Bush replacement suggestions ?

[MR_VX]

For the last 2-3 weeks i can hear a vibration noise coming from the front, the noise is like when you drive over the white bumpy line on the side of the high way. Just wondering if it would be a worn bush and if so which one should i be looking at???

I already no i have to replace the radius bushes, ive got a set of whiteline just have to put them in.
any suggetions on which ones i should replace aswell?????

Get the tyre balance checked first.

As suggested get the wheels re-balanced but also have a look at the Top Strut mounts, the original Holden ones tend do shite themselves quite often.

Might also be good good idea to take it to a suspension shop for a quick look over by a professional...

done that with pedders, they had a $14 safty check and gave me a $500 quote on so called spilt and thorn bushes. some how i dont believe i have that many problems under the car.

Check your link pin bushes.

If it's vibrating the whole time I'd seriously doubt it's bushes. My money is still on tyre balance.

There's your problem right there Pedders(RipoffFcukingA55holePricks)...

Not the $14 saftey check... Just surprised the carnts didn't say the car was unsafe and so would not give you the car back.

its not the whole time. only when im driving around slight corners and that.

yeah ive heard a few times that you never end up with just a $14 bill from them the pricks.

That's strange, I took my car to pedders for the $14 check and they said the front end was fine with the exception of the sway bar bushes. I took it in because the steering wheel on my car vibrates above 100km/h. I have had the wheels balanced but no improvement (tyres have only done 25,000kms). Looking at replacing the engine mounts as they are stuffed. The sump sits about 10mm below the cross-member.

Have you had you engine mounts checked?

Buy Nolethane bushings and fit them yourself. DIY is your friend.

Swaybar link bushes are common and will make a rattle noise as the rubber donuts split and fall out resulting in the washers vibrating against metal.

yes pedders said they where fine, but to me they looked fingered. lol

I should do the saybar bushes, are they a hard job?

IMO if the bushes havn't been done before then do the lot if you plan on keeping your car.

Try the link below.

If you replacing the radius rod bushes you may aswell compliment them with replacing the other bushes aswell . you wont regret it. I didnt
I didnt find any difference between the VS and VT front end. Ive worked on both.

I did 2 cars in the driveway, saved bucket loads of cash on labor

just remember to not over tighten the bushings as they will die pretty quickly.
