Poly bushes

[hbkuk1]

Hi all I've been searching without success
Can we get poly bushes for the vr4 anywhere? I can only find rubber ones

[crazydriver81]

Which ones you'd like to replace? Engine mounts are available from US, front lower are available from super pro and swinks had run a group buy on poly bushes. AFAIK user 'peter Thomson' is selling a full set currently.

I've done engine ones And arb it's all the others I would like

Anyone know where a set of bushes can be bought?

I have the full energy suspension set on my car which is 48 bushes in total and I run 3 solid mounts on the engine too :-)

I bought them on here, so if you search you should be able to find the thread where I bought them from col1n I think his username is.

But there definately from energy suspension in the US

I use to source them from PL. Twice cheap than US site, and great quality. They do Galant n/a bushes, so 1 rear arm is different. More details once I'm back home. I hate mobile internet :)

Here we go:

And this one is different between Galant n/a and VR4:

Nahh... second link shows arm NOT TO BUY (avoid!).
Exchange rate is at the moment like 1:5, so prices are to divided by 5.

R you sure they sort out issues (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?50205-Group-buy-polyurethane-bushes&p=581448&viewfull=1#post581448) with them yet?

From those reported, 4 been checked by Warsaw team, and problems were due to wrong fitting. Confirmed by Bartek, Maretzky and Hubert.

Anyway, me or 3 other members here never had and issue with them, and now I'm running setup in back of my E8.

Sorry, I thought you referring to squeek noise and sitting lower issue.

That linked above was manufacturer error whilst packing 10 sets. The upper bush from rear knuckle is slightly different size than lower 2. Because it was 1st big order (10 sets), they got messed with inserts. Since then, never heard of wrong items in package.

So just to confirm, the 28 piece set from the Polish website fits all bushings on a facelift Legnum VR4 minus the rear trailing arm bushing, correct? We ordered that set for the leggy but have not fitted them yet.

Hey Kryndon, did you already fit your kit? Want to share some thoughts on it?

Hey Lukas,

Yes some of the bushings from the kit were fitted to our car and we took it home earlier this week. There were a couple problems, mind you I wasn't the one doing the replacement but a very reputable Mitsu shop and friend of mine. What they ended up using from the kit were the 3 rear knuckle bushings and the two big red rear trailing arm bushings which had to be turned down on a lathe to fit. Apparently the rest of the control arms had issues with the balljoints so they ended up buying completely new arms which naturally come with new bushings, so they remained like that. Essentially all the other poly bushings ended up not being used which is a shame and I cannot say if they will fit. Also they said neither of the bushings from the kit fit the inner slot on the rear lateral arm (the one which has the sway bar link connected to it). It has the longest inner bush out of all the control arms. The arm itself is not sold new anymore so they reused the old one. Also, when ordering this kit, there was a choice of 18 or 20mm front rollbar bushings, and 20 to 22mm rear ones. We had selected 20 front and 22 rear but the Legnum bar is 24mm (biggest of all Mitsus) so they had to force squeeze the 22mm bushing around the bracket with lots of grease and long bolts. Not ideal but it works.

The ride quality now is amazing, it feels like a modern car right off the assembly line, and it doesn't feel mega stiff in the rear nor front, but again, this is an unfair judgement because we are only using 4 of the bushings essentially.

Thank you for sharing that info! All my rear bushings have cracks. I cannot find the trailing arms anywhere and they are not produced anymore. As well as some other arms.. Therefore I am also considering buying this kit. And buying all the (deliverable) arms is very expensive.. (over 1300 Euro in my amayama cart, with customs + taxes still to be paid.. I will end up somewhere at 1500 I guess).

The trailing arm from our VR-4s are not the same as with the euro Galants. Probably thats why they don't fit properly? But better too big, than too small I guess, at least they could make it fit that way. I guess I will give it a shot. Thank you for that valuable information. At first I thought of fitting them myself. Maybe I will also try to look for somebody to do it for me..
