Replacing your Bushes

[jonnyjapanese]

Hi I've read the postings about replacing bushes with superflex ones, it's all become a little too confusing and some comments are contradicting others. Can someone please clarify which bushes I should be buying for the front only, lets forget about the back for now, just the front end so we don't confuse things.

Ok for starters which of these is right for the front trailing arms SPF1483K or SPF1009K?

I also want to replace all the bushes on the front are these numbers correct

2 x SPF 1485/25K front and rear anti roll bar to body bushes (4) 25mm
4 x SPF 0927 front tie rod bush (strut bar)
8 x SPF 2092B front anti roll bar link pin bushes 10mm
8 x SPF 0903 rear anti roll bar link pin bushes 8mm

is that everything are there anymore bushes for the front

Superflex have given me a price of £216.00 inc vat and free postage for these bits inc SPF 1483K but I want to check they are defo right before I order and mess everyone around.

Neither going by their websites description, I'm sure I measured mine (as I've have a mix of S12 and S13 arms and learnt the hard way there were two sizes of bushes).
S12's and early S13's are stepped to 31.6(ish)mm, later S13 are 34(ish)mm.

Edit: Just checked powerflex and they list:

31.6mm
and
35mm

So I wasn't far wrong according to them. I have fitted powerflex bushes to the front arms of an S12 (and still have them sat in the garage).

Great so I am really not sure what to buy for the front, are all the other parts correct, how can it be that there is so much confusion over this.

If you were replacing all the front end rubbers what would you do?

Are the other parts I've re posted from the original posting correct and if not why haven't they been removed from the thread??
