hi all well i had to fit rear ones on mine has the springs were bending out and hitting the shocks and if i put a washer behind the bottom of the shocks to clear the springs. then the pan hard rod would rub on the shocks and mines only got 2" spring lift. all sorted now and the springs sitting lovely and no rubingB)

its something ive thought about but decided it would not be worth it but now you got me re-thinking again
ive got a set of poly caster bushes going spare as ive fitted ora front arms but ive heard they dont flex very well (well not as good as standard rubber bushes) is that right

The way I see it if you have them lieing around (as I do) then you may as well fit them!!!:laugh:vitara_mad wrote: its something ive thought about but decided it would not be worth it but now you got me re-thinking again

yes sounds a good plan & as one of my rear bushes needs replacing anyway its a good time as any to get them fitted
i presume they fit in the same way they do on the front like this
