    Bushes

    Hey all,

    The old girl GQ needs new suspension bushes and I was wondering if this has them all or if i need to get more not contained in the kit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Full-Susp...3D330839511333

    Also whats the best way to do this?

    Yes mate that has everything you need, I would suggest that you consider spending the extra money for genuine bushes instead of those aftermarket ones though. Genuine are higher quality and will last longer and perform better.

    I second that. Whiteline bushes are good for your panhards. If your car has a lift, make sure you get castor correction bushes for the radius arms

    I have been advised that the castor correction bushes wear out quickly. Superior engineering make radius arms for different lift heights.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Not a fan of drop radius arms personally, the only thing that really corrects a radius arm geometry (and castor angle) after a suspension lift is drop boxes. The reasoning behind this is that it brings the rear of the radius arm down to match the amount you have lowered the front diff.

    They also lower your gearbox a little for a better angle on the driveshaft I do believe. I'm going to fit mine soon so I'll let you know
