suspension bushes wanted.

Hi Guys, the PH2 red rocket hatch has just passed its Warrant of fitness test (MOT) but the mechanic pionted out that all the suspension rubbers are getting perished and cracking, which one would expect for a 20 year old car.
So the question is, has anyone got a set of rubbers/nolathane or whatever suspension bushes that they are no longer going to instal? or what and where would you recommend getting some.
is nolathane better or rubber?
If noone has a set to sell on here, is E-bay the next best scource?
cheers guys.

You can buy the bushes for the front arms separately and use a press to push them out and swap them, or you can get powerflex polyurethane ones.

tbh that's hassle though, just buy new arms with the bushes in, quite cheap.

For the rear radius arm bushes, that's a lot more involved.

Cheers Neil.
No problem with the press, i have a 30 ton press.
Postage for complete arms would be very expensive. the large rear ones i am more interested in getting.

Something for you to take a look at.

Powerflex - Performance Polyurethane Bushes

Did you get 2.0 16v Megane coupes over there? Same lower arms on front and the bushes for the rear will also be the same.

OK thanks guys, I may be able to pick up a 1990 5 door minus motor and g/box with low miles (89,000 km), and rip out the bushes and seats from it. going to look at it in the weekend.
cheers.
