I cracked on today with refitting the trailing arms etc.
I bought some new inner bolts a while back so the camber can now be adjusted on the outter mounts. One thing I should have checked however was that they are the same diameter as the outter bolts ie were they fit in the trailing arms.
It was only when I offered them up I found out that the inner bolts dont go in the outter trailing arm bushes. The inner bolts have a diameter of 14mm --- The Outter bolts have a diameter of 13.4mm. After scratching my head for a while, I decided to use the none adjustable originals on the outter points for now and get the others milled down to size.

Yep they are. When the subframe is off, you need to remove the old bush and the Metal outter. In the kit you get Two halves of the bush on each side with a metal inner. You push the two halves in the subframe by hand then the metal inner through the hole. Job done

martin said its not massive hassle doing the subframe bushes with the beam in place, i dont have time to take the whole thing off, so ill try and do it on the car, mine rattle all over the drivers side, and deffo feels loose on cornering.

You have to take off the subframe to change the bushes. However you can leave the trailing arms connected with the brake calipers etc. You do need to remove the diff as its to heavy to to move around. This is what I did the last time I did it
