Easy to change too, after doing a couple i have learnt you can do them on the car if you need too

Take this opportunity though to not put the original glug filled useless bushes back on, and put adjustable Whiteline urethane bushes in.

any few pointers on how to get it off cos i thought the whole arm thingy has to be unbolted with the whole disc rotor out n that..

hmm urethane bushes thanks good advice i was gonna go oem but yeh urethane whiteline it is.

Yeah thats how i did the first side on mine, but if you swing the arm out (protect your guard with somthing) you can tap the old bushes out with a hammer, you just need to hit them at the right angle and they will dislodge and come flying out (I mean that literally too lol).... As for putting them back in i used a huge pair of multi grips but you can use a nut and both with washers or other methods if you are skilled on the tools.

Okay I know this is an old thread but I still haven't got around to changing these Bushings still. Cos had the car re-sprayed and I didn't drive it since then cos I was overseas...it's been about a year since I Haven't changed it and I was gonna go on track next Monday for the first time... will it be alright if I did, I mean taking corners a bit hard or not.

I drove around some winding roads last week and thrashed through the corners and the car seem normal after. And now do u guys think that it will be fine if I went in track?

Cheers ! Thoughts?
