HZ Premier Wagon

[kingswood country]

The front ends are pretty simple, a little bit if hard work in there. If your after a front end build kit, look up kingswood country on eBay, I can't recommend them enough.

My old man had a gun metal grey hz prem wagon with statesman trim and wb caprice wheels with a 253. I used to think that thing was awesome.

I Believe nlathane makes most of the parts brand new for the front end including wishbones aswell, just something to keep in mind

They do, and I've heard rubber upper control arm bushes and nolothane lower control arm bushes together give you the best feel. I can't tell you, I just stuck with rubber on the front.

There's a common misconception with nolathane where everyone thinks that all bushes are the same type of nolathane.

bushes are actually made in different strengths and rigidities by nolathane so you'll find body bushes and weight bearing bushes are generally a lot softer than those needed for steering etc.

just a useful bit of info

Even still, nolothane is generally stiffer then rubber. Again, I haven't felt the difference, all I know is nolothane squeaks so much more than rubber

i went neo's on every single bush on my impala and not a single squeek. you use enough assembly lube?

 

[spauldj308]

It's a resto, so I'll probably go rubber. Did buy nolothane body mounts though.

Used a fair bit, same as the rubber, still squeaks, I'll pull the diff eventually and re do it.

So is this thing staying the same colour?
