i need a couple of rear radius arm bushes on the axle end . bit of a knock on my standard bushes.
i have had a look round at the options and have a couple of questions.
1 are castor correction bushes only fitted on the front axle ?
2 how should the car be supported to remove the rear radius arms ?
many thanks

you can fit caster bushes on the rear too i did on mine & ive heard other have done it too

do 1 side at a time if you can jack it up put axel stand under chassis & take wheel off & then use jack to support the axel while you get arm off

quite often you find that the bolts have seized into the center of the bushes so you end up having to cut the bolts off & then if its a bush you was not planning on changing try to get rest of bolt out or buy new ones
