Hi Brian, not sure if you're talking to me or Avulon (if you are, thank you), but my bushes were already in place. The salvage part was in good order. It's off at ZT but I suspect that that ZT had its subframe replaced with a 75 version. But since all new springs and dampers are ZT sport spec and that all bushes are new, I haven't noticed any softness. Feels tighter and more balanced. I have my old subframe with 3 intact aluminium bushes. Dad reckons he can make a forth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Atlan I can't get the link but they were from best_of_british_rover I thought they were cheaper than they were (I'm living in denial) but they were brand new with bushes in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A great job done..... wanna do mine? (both!) just kidding. Although I'm pretty sure mine isn't anywhere near as bad as that. The first photo of the top arm !
Just done the rear discs shoes and pads on my diesel as well, such a difference in handbrake and brake performance as well - although I didn't get a chance to restore the calipers though. Well done on posting the pics so quick as well.

Appreciate the thumbs up. The job was a mix of frustration coupled with a side order of reward. Thanks for help on posting. Onward to next repair, I mean conservation, eh avulon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very nice work there Nikon. Good to see the car in good hands, that should keep it on the road for many years to come.
