Driving Around With A Busted Bush

[Modena]

My car has a busted radius rod bush and Im going for a fairly big drive this long weekend, should I be ok or should I fix it before driving?

I always thought bushes were no big deal?

I have the part already but dunno how much a mechanic will charge as I have a mechanic who can do it for free just dont know when yet.

it depends if you plan to "drive" the car, if so i would replace it as the car will be quite hairy under heavy breaking, suddenly pulling to one side etc, if your just going to cruise you should be fine, just keep it in mind

Are they oil filled or something?

if u allready have the part it shouldnt cost u more then $75 this depends on how much the mechanic will charge per hour for labour, I had my replaced on my 34 and it was $150 all together

hope this helps.

Yes they have some type of oil to grease them... I plan on just going mainly for a big cruise, no drifting or heavy cornering, well maybe a few times here and there but no track work.

I might just wait and see if my mechanic can do it... cheers.
